Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large (about 8 oz) Chicken breast
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 medium Ripe avocado
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 4 large leaves Romaine or iceberg lettuce
- 1 small Tomato
- 2 slices Bacon
Instructions
Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat.
Rub the chicken breast with olive oil, then season with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper on both sides.
Place the chicken breast on the grill pan and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
While the chicken is cooking, cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Add the lemon juice and mash until smooth.
Stir the mayonnaise into the mashed avocado until well combined and set aside.
Cook the bacon in a separate skillet over medium heat until crispy. Once done, set aside on paper towels to drain excess fat.
Slice the tomato into thin rounds.
Once the chicken is cooked, let it rest for 5 minutes, and then slice it into thin strips.
To assemble the sandwiches, lay out the lettuce leaves. Spread half of the avocado mixture onto each pair of leaves as the base.
Top with slices of grilled chicken, tomato rounds, and a strip of crispy bacon.
Fold the lettuce wraps over the toppings to form a sandwich-bundle and serve immediately.
