Start by preparing the chicken. Place the chicken breasts between two pieces of parchment paper or plastic wrap. Use a meat mallet to pound them to an even thickness of about 0.5 inches.
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
Brush the marinade over both sides of the chicken breasts and let them sit for at least 10 minutes.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken breasts to the skillet.
Cook the chicken for 5-6 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165Β°F (75Β°C) and the juices run clear.
Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes, then slice it into thin strips.
While the chicken is resting, prepare the avocado mixture. Cut each avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl.
Mash the avocados with a fork until mostly smooth, leaving some small chunks for texture.
Add the juice of the lime, chopped cilantro, and a pinch of salt to the mashed avocados. Mix well and set aside.
Thinly slice the red bell pepper and cucumber.
To assemble the wraps, lay out the romaine lettuce leaves on a clean surface.
Spread a generous layer of the avocado mixture on each leaf.
Layer sliced chicken, red bell pepper, and cucumber over the avocado.
Roll the lettuce leaves into wraps, securing with a toothpick if necessary.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Whole30 Low-Carb Chicken Avocado Wraps!
