Ingredients
- 2 pieces chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder

- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup hot sauce
- 3 tablespoons ghee
- 8 leaves romaine lettuce leaves

Instructions
Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Brush the mixture over both sides of the chicken breasts.
Grill the chicken breasts for 7-8 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and have nice grill marks. Make sure the internal temperature reaches at least 165°F (75°C).
While the chicken is grilling, heat the ghee in a saucepan over medium heat until melted.
Add hot sauce to the saucepan with melted ghee and stir to combine. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes.
Once the chicken is cooked, remove from the grill and let it rest for a couple of minutes, then slice it into strips.
Toss the sliced chicken in the Buffalo sauce mixture to fully coat.
Assemble the sandwiches by laying out two lettuce leaves for each sandwich to form a wrap.
Add a few slices of grilled buffalo chicken, a couple of tomato slices, and avocado slices to each wrap.
Fold the lettuce leaves around the fillings to form a sandwich wrap.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Paleo Buffalo Chicken Sandwich!
