Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 cup Sugar-free BBQ sauce
- 8 leaves Large lettuce leaves (such as romaine or iceberg)
- 0.5 Red onion, thinly sliced
- 0.25 cup Pickles, sliced
- 4 slices Cheddar cheese, sliced (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Season the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder on both sides.
Heat olive oil in a large oven-proof skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the seasoned chicken breasts and sear each side for about 3 minutes, until golden brown.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes.
Using two forks, shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
In a large bowl, mix the shredded chicken with the sugar-free BBQ sauce until well-coated.
To assemble each sandwich, place two lettuce leaves overlapping on a plate to form a sturdy base.
Add a generous portion of the BBQ chicken onto the lettuce leaves.
Top with slices of red onion, pickles, and a slice of cheddar cheese if using.
Fold the lettuce around the filling to create a sandwich-like wrap and serve immediately.
