Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Chicken breast
- 1 large Avocado
- 8 leaves Romaine lettuce leaves
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 large Lime
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 0.5 small Red onion
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro
Instructions
Begin by pounding the chicken breasts to an even thickness, about 1/2 inch thick, to ensure they cook evenly.
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, juice of half the lime, garlic powder, ground cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring they are fully coated. Let the chicken marinate for at least 15 minutes, or up to an hour for more flavor.
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
While the grill heats, halve and pit the avocado. Scoop the flesh into a small bowl and mash it with a fork until relatively smooth.
Dice the cherry tomatoes and finely chop the red onion. Add these to the avocado mixture.
Chop fresh cilantro and add it to the avocado mixture along with the juice of the remaining half lime. Mix well and set aside.
Once the grill is hot, place the marinated chicken breasts on the grill and cook for 5-6 minutes on each side, or until cooked through and no longer pink in the center.
Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into thin strips.
Lay out the romaine lettuce leaves and distribute the sliced chicken equally among them.
Top each set of chicken strips with the avocado mixture.
Carefully roll the lettuce leaves around the filling to create wraps.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Paleo Grilled Chicken Avocado Wraps!
