1. Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
2. Drizzle olive oil over the chicken breasts and season with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
3. Grill the chicken for about 7-8 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165Β°F (75Β°C). Once cooked, remove from heat and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing thinly.
4. While the chicken is grilling, prepare the avocado mixture. Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl.
5. Mash the avocado with a fork until smooth and mix in the lime juice.
6. Slice cherry tomatoes in half and finely chop the cilantro. Add both into the avocado mixture and stir until well combined.
7. Lay the romaine lettuce leaves on a clean surface. On each leaf, spread a heaping tablespoon of the avocado mixture.
8. Place several slices of grilled chicken over the avocado mixture.
9. Roll the lettuce leaf around the filling to create a wrap. Secure with a toothpick if necessary.
10. Serve the wraps immediately or refrigerate for a quick and satisfying meal later.
