Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breast fillets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 8 leaves lettuce leaves
- 1 large, sliced tomato
- 1 large, sliced avocado
- 1 small, sliced red onion
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, sea salt, and black pepper to form a marinade.
Place the chicken breast fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring they are well coated. Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 15 minutes.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Once the grill is heated, place the marinated chicken breasts on the grill.
Grill the chicken for about 5 minutes on each side or until fully cooked with an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
While the chicken is grilling, prepare the burger toppings: wash and dry the lettuce leaves, slice the tomato, avocado, and red onion.
Once the chicken is cooked, remove from the grill and let it rest for a couple of minutes.
Squeeze the lemon juice over the grilled chicken breasts for an added burst of flavor.
Assemble the burgers by placing a grilled chicken breast on two lettuce leaves, then top with tomato slices, avocado slices, and red onion.
Secure the burgers with a wooden skewer or wrap them in parchment paper for easier handling.
Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Paleo Grilled Chicken Burgers!
