Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Chicken breast
- 2 tablespoons Chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 large Romaine lettuce leaves
- 1 whole Red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 whole Avocado, sliced
- 0.5 whole Red onion, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons Cilantro, chopped
Instructions
Start by making the marinade for the chicken. In a bowl, mix together the chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, olive oil, lime juice, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
Place the chicken breasts in a zip-top bag and pour the marinade over the chicken. Seal the bag and massage the chicken to ensure even coating. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes at room temperature or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator for maximum flavor.
While the chicken is marinating, prepare the vegetables by washing and slicing the bell pepper, avocado, and red onion. Set aside.
Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated chicken breasts. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until the chicken is fully cooked and has a nice char. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (75°C).
Remove the chicken from the pan and allow it to rest for a few minutes before slicing it into strips.
To assemble the wraps, take one large romaine lettuce leaf and layer some sliced red bell pepper, avocado, and red onion inside.
Add a few slices of the chipotle chicken, then sprinkle with chopped cilantro for added freshness.
Repeat the assembly process for the remaining lettuce leaves. Serve your Paleo Chipotle Chicken Wraps immediately, and enjoy your flavorful and healthy meal!
