Ingredients
- 2 pieces, boneless and skinless chicken breast
- 4 tablespoons Peri Peri sauce
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 8 whole lettuce leaves
- 1 large, sliced tomato
- 1 medium, sliced avocado
- 0.5 small, thinly sliced red onion
- 4 slices cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
Directions
Step 1
Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board and cover with a sheet of plastic wrap. Pound the chicken to an even thickness using a meat mallet or rolling pin.
Step 2
In a bowl, mix the Peri Peri sauce, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken breasts and coat evenly. Let marinate for at least 10 minutes, or overnight in the refrigerator for more flavor.
Step 3
Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the marinated chicken breasts on the pan and grill for about 6-7 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Step 4
While the chicken is cooking, prepare the lettuce leaves as your sandwich 'wraps'. Wash and pat them dry.
Step 5
Assemble the sandwiches by placing two lettuce leaves overlapping each other. Spread a half tablespoon of mayonnaise on each lettuce base.
Step 6
Once the chicken is cooked, let it rest for 2-3 minutes before slicing it into thin strips.
Step 7
On the lettuce wrap, layer the grilled chicken strips, followed by a slice of cheddar cheese, a few slices of tomato, avocado, and red onion.
Step 8
Fold the lettuce wrap over the filling, securing the ends if needed with a toothpick.
Step 9
Repeat the assembly process for the remaining sandwiches. Serve immediately.
