Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons ketchup
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 8 slices whole-wheat bread, toasted
  • 6 ounces smoked deli chicken, thinly sliced
  • ½ cup thinly sliced grape tomatoes
  • ½ cup watercress
  • ½ small ripe avocado, cut into 8 (⅛-inch-thick) slices
  • Garnish: watercress
Instructions
  1. In a small bowl, whisk together ketchup, mayonnaise, and paprika. Spread a layer of ketchup mixture onto each bread slice.
  2. Arrange chicken on 4 bread slices. Top with tomato slices, watercress, and 2 avocado slices each. Cover with remaining bread slices, spread side down.
  3. Using a serrated bread knife in a gentle sawing motion, trim and discard crusts from sandwiches. Cut each sandwich into 3 (3×1-inch) rectangles. Serve immediately, or cover with damp paper towels, place in an airtight container, and refrigerate until serving time.
  4. Garnish with watercress, if desired.
