Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces chicken breast
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 8 leaves romaine lettuce leaves
- 1 medium cucumber
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 0.5 medium red onion
- 1 avocado
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro
Instructions
Start by preparing the chicken: Slice each chicken breast into strips about 1/2 inch wide.
In a medium bowl, mix together the olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, ground black pepper, salt, and lemon juice.
Add the chicken strips to the marinade, ensuring they are thoroughly coated. Let them marinate for at least 10 minutes.
While the chicken is marinating, prepare the vegetables: dice the cucumber, halve the cherry tomatoes, thinly slice the red onion, and dice the avocado. Set aside.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken strips to the skillet and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink inside.
Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest while assembling the wraps.
To assemble the wraps, lay a romaine lettuce leaf flat on a plate. Place a few strips of chicken in the center of the leaf.
Top the chicken with a selection of cucumber, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and avocado.
Sprinkle chopped fresh cilantro over the top to garnish.
Roll or fold the lettuce leaf around the filling and serve immediately. Repeat with the remaining ingredients to prepare all wraps.
