Ingredients

• 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 pieces ripe avocados
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 8 pieces large lettuce leaves
• 1 piece tomato, sliced
• 0.5 piece red onion, thinly sliced
• 0.5 piece cucumber, thinly sliced

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the grill or a grill pan over medium-high heat.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

Brush the chicken breasts with the olive oil mixture on both sides.

Step 4

Place the chicken breasts on the grill and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the center. Use a thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

Step 5

Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing into strips.

Step 6

While the chicken is resting, cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a bowl.

Step 7

Add the lemon juice to the avocado and mash with a fork until smooth yet slightly chunky.

Step 8

To assemble the sandwiches, take two large lettuce leaves and place them together to form a sturdy base.

Step 9

Spread a generous amount of mashed avocado onto the lettuce leaves.

Step 10

Add a few slices of grilled chicken on top of the avocado.

Step 11

Layer with slices of tomato, onion, and cucumber.

Step 12

Fold the sides of the lettuce leaves over the filling to enclose it.

Step 13

Repeat the process for the remaining ingredients to make four sandwiches in total.

Step 14

Serve immediately, enjoying the fresh, vibrant flavors of this Paleo Chicken Avocado Sandwich.
