The five-minute claim assumes pre-cooked chicken—if you're starting from raw breast, add twenty minutes minimum, which kills the weeknight appeal. Avocado and cilantro are reliable finds at Harris Teeter, Food Lion, Kroger, and Walmart, though avocado pricing swings wildly and a ripe one on short notice is not guaranteed. At four dollars per avocado, two per croissant sandwich, plus quality chicken breast at five to six dollars a pound, you're looking at roughly three dollars per serving in protein and produce alone—reasonable but not budget-friendly. The dish is straightforward assembly with no reheating option, so it's a same-night eat and works well for a quick lunch or light dinner, though families expecting substantial leftovers should plan elsewhere.
