Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 ripe avocados
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 0.25 cup red onion
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro
- 8 large iceberg or romaine lettuce leaves
- 1 medium lime
Instructions
Start by marinating the chicken. In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Place chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Ensure the chicken is evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.
While the chicken is marinating, prepare the avocado mixture. Cube the avocados and chop the cherry tomatoes, red onion, and cilantro. Combine them in a bowl and juice the lime over the mixture. Stir gently to combine and set aside.
Heat a grill pan or outdoor grill over medium-high heat. Once hot, remove the chicken from the marinade and grill for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes. Once rested, slice the chicken into thin strips.
Assemble the wrap by placing a few strips of chicken in the center of each lettuce leaf. Top with a generous spoonful of the avocado mixture.
Fold the sides of the lettuce leaf over the filling and serve immediately.
