Begin by marinating the chicken breasts. In a mixing bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper. Coat the chicken breasts thoroughly and set aside to marinate for 10 minutes.
While the chicken is marinating, prepare the vegetables. Halve and pit the avocados, then slice them thinly. Toss these slices with 2 tablespoons of lemon juice to prevent browning.
Slice the cherry tomatoes into halves and thinly slice the red onion. Roughly chop the cilantro.
Preheat a grill pan or a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated chicken breasts for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Once cooked, remove from the pan and let them rest for a few minutes before slicing them thinly.
In a small bowl, mix 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard with 1 tablespoon of honey to create a dressing.
To assemble the wrap, place a gluten-free wrap on a flat surface. Layer with a handful of mixed greens, a few slices of grilled chicken, avocado slices, cherry tomatoes, and red onion. Drizzle a spoonful of the mustard-honey dressing and sprinkle with cilantro.
Roll the wrap tightly by folding in the sides and then rolling from the bottom upwards. Secure with a toothpick if needed and repeat the process for the remaining wraps.
Serve the chicken and avocado wraps immediately or wrap in foil for a packed lunch.
