Pound the chicken breasts to even thickness if necessary for more uniform cooking.
In a shallow dish, combine the dill pickle juice and place the chicken breasts in it. Cover and refrigerate to marinate for at least 30 minutes or up to 1 hour.
Remove the chicken from the marinade and pat dry with paper towels.
In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
Brush the seasoning mixture over both sides of the chicken breasts.
Heat a grill pan or outdoor grill over medium-high heat.
Grill the chicken breasts for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Remove the chicken from the grill and allow it to rest for a few minutes.
While the chicken rests, wash the romaine lettuce leaves and slice the avocado.
Assemble the sandwiches by placing two romaine lettuce leaves on each plate to form a 'bun', add a grilled chicken breast, a couple of tomato slices, and avocado slices.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
