5. 5Mash the avocados in a bowl with a squeeze of lemon juice and a sprinkle of salt and pepper.
6. 6Spread the mashed avocado on the toasted bread, then top with a grilled chicken breast, sliced into thin strips.
7. 7Drizzle the olive oil over the top of the chicken and avocado, then sprinkle with toasted red pepper flakes.
8. 8Serve immediately, garnished with a squeeze of lemon juice and a sprinkle of salt and pepper.
