Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 4 pieces large lettuce leaves
- 1 large tomato
- 0.25 medium red onion
- 1 medium avocado
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, sea salt, and black pepper.
Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag, and pour the marinade over them. Add the fresh lemon juice and ensure the chicken is well-coated. Let it marinate for at least 10 minutes.
While the chicken is marinating, prepare the toppings: slice the tomato, thinly slice the red onion, and slice the avocado.
Remove the chicken from the marinade and place it on the preheated grill. Cook each side for about 6-8 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Use a meat thermometer to ensure it's cooked through.
Assemble the sandwich: begin with a large lettuce leaf as the base, place a grilled chicken breast on top, then add slices of tomato, red onion, and avocado.
Finish with another large lettuce leaf on top as the 'bread', and secure each sandwich with a toothpick if necessary.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Whole30 Classic Grilled Chicken Sandwich!
