Ingredients
- 1 large chicken breast
- 1 medium head cauliflower
- 8 whole romaine lettuce leaves
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro
- 1 whole lime
Directions
Step 1
Begin by preparing the cauliflower rice. Cut the cauliflower into florets and place them in a food processor. Pulse until the cauliflower resembles rice grains.
Step 2
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 3
Add the cauliflower rice to the skillet and season with onion powder, sea salt, and black pepper. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cauliflower is tender. Set aside.
Step 4
While the cauliflower rice is cooking, season the chicken breast with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Step 5
In another skillet, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breast and cook until golden brown and cooked through, approximately 6-7 minutes per side. Once cooked, remove from the pan and let rest for a few minutes before slicing into thin strips.
Step 6
To assemble the wraps, take one lettuce leaf and place a spoonful of cauliflower rice in the center. Top with a few strips of chicken, a sprinkle of cilantro, and a squeeze of fresh lime juice.
Step 7
Fold the sides of the lettuce over the filling and roll to enclose. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
Step 8
Serve immediately for a fresh and light Paleo meal.
