Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup pickle juice
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon coconut aminos
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 4 leaves lettuce leaves
- 1 sliced tomato
- 1 sliced avocado
Instructions
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the pickle juice, coconut milk, apple cider vinegar, honey, and coconut aminos.
Add the chicken breasts to the bowl, ensuring they are fully submerged in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for a deeper flavor.
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Remove the chicken from the marinade and pat dry with paper towels. Discard the marinade.
In a small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, paprika, black pepper, onion powder, and sea salt.
Sprinkle the spice mixture evenly over both sides of the chicken breasts.
Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes.
For each sandwich, place a grilled chicken breast on two large lettuce leaves, top with sliced avocado and tomato.
Wrap the lettuce around the chicken and enjoy your paleo-friendly grilled chicken sandwich!
