Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Boneless skinless chicken breast
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves Minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 8 leaves Romaine lettuce leaves
- 1 Avocado
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 0.25 Red onion
- 0.25 cup Cilantro
Instructions
Begin by preparing the chicken breasts. Rub them with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, minced garlic, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil.
Place the seasoned chicken breasts in the skillet and cook for about 6-7 minutes per side, until fully cooked and browned on both sides. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (75°C).
Transfer the cooked chicken to a cutting board, let it rest for a few minutes, then slice it into thin strips.
While the chicken is cooking, prepare the avocado. Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and use a spoon to scoop the flesh into a bowl.
Mash the avocado with a fork and stir in the lemon juice to prevent browning.
Slice the cherry tomatoes in half and finely chop the red onion.
To assemble the wraps, lay two romaine lettuce leaves on a flat surface for each wrap.
Spread a portion of the mashed avocado onto the lettuce leaves.
Distribute the sliced chicken, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and cilantro evenly across the avocado spread for each wrap.
Carefully roll the lettuce leaves into a wrap, securing with a toothpick if necessary.
Serve immediately and enjoy this heart-healthy, low-carb chicken avocado wrap.
