1. Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat.
2. Season the chicken breasts with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
3. Grill the chicken breasts for about 6-7 minutes per side, until fully cooked and no longer pink inside. Remove from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes.
4. Cut the chicken breasts into thin strips and transfer them to a large bowl.
5. Add the cooked jasmine rice and gluten-free soy sauce to the bowl with the chicken and mix well until combined. Adjust seasoning if needed.
6. Prepare a large shallow dish of warm water. Dip each rice paper sheet into the water for about 10-15 seconds until soft and pliable.
7. Lay the softened rice paper on a clean surface. Place a lettuce leaf in the center, then layer with a few strips of chicken, julienned carrots, cucumber, red bell pepper, and a sprinkle of cilantro.
8. Fold the bottom of the rice paper up over the fillings, fold in the sides, then roll upward tightly to enclose the fillings and create a wrap.
9. Repeat the process with the remaining ingredients.
10. Serve the gluten-free chicken rice wraps with lime wedges on the side for a fresh citrus squeeze and enjoy immediately!
