Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup mayonnaise
4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon minced fresh tarragon
2 teaspoons white wine vinegar
2 garlic cloves; 1 minced, 1 halved
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
4 skinless boneless chicken breast halves
8 center slices country white bread (each about 5x3 inches), toasted
1 bunch watercress, stems trimmed
2 avocados, halved, pitted, peeled, each half thinly sliced but intact

Steps:

  • Whisk mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons oil, tarragon, vinegar, minced garlic, and lemon juice in small bowl to blend well. Season aioli with salt and pepper.
  • Place chicken breasts between sheets of waxed paper. Using rolling pin, flatten chicken to even 1/2-inch thickness; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken; sauté until brown and cooked through, about 4 minutes per side. Cool chicken, then tear into narrow 3-inch strips. Place chicken in bowl. Mix in 3/4 cup aioli; season with salt and pepper (reserve remaining aioli for another use).
  • Rub 1 side of each toast slice with cut side of halved garlic. Arrange 4 toasts garlic side up. Top each with 1/4 of watercress, 1 fanned-out avocado half, and 1/4 of chicken. Sprinkle with salt and pepper; top with remaining toasts, garlic side down.
