Grilled Chicken and Avocado Napoleons

I adore Grilled Chicken and Avocado Napoleons. They are so simple, but completely delicious. I hate spicy, but for some reason I love the kick of cayenne in the dressing with the cool avocado and flaky, buttery, amazingly delish puff pastry. It’s pretty much perfection.
The first time I had this recipe I knew it looked good, but it seemed a tad odd to use puff pastry for a sandwich. I am forever converted. You truly must try it yourself to understand, but it’s quite amazing.

We usually eat these napoleans with a little spinach, but we were completely out on this particular evening. I didn’t care. I had a hankering and was more than willing to forgo the greens.

Have you ever even had Puff pastry? It’s purty darn delicious. We don’t make our own. Why slave for hours to make something that Pepperidge Farm does so well? They make a fantastic puff pastry, and so I stick with them.

This recipe is adapted from Giada De Laurentiis, so unfortunately I cannot take the credit, but I’m all about sharing recipes that are delicious even if I didn’t think it up myself. We had already been inspired by a sandwich and had puff pastry lying around so when I saw her show making something similar I had to pounce!
