Grilled Chicken & Avocado Sandwich with Tomato Basil Aioli

Here's a fun fact: I love avocado.  I also love tomato.  And basil...and well...every ingredient in this recipe!

See?  Isn't that avocado beautiful??  Don't you just want to eat it up?

Aioli is a fun word.  It's also a delicious sauce...traditionally made out of garlic, olive oil, egg - and in some cases, mustard & mayo.  There are many variations so I took a stab at one of my own.
