Ingredients

• 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 4 pieces large romaine lettuce leaves
• 1 pieces ripe avocado, sliced
• 1 medium tomato, sliced
• 0.5 medium red onion, thinly sliced
• 4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard

Directions

Step 1

Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap or in a sealable plastic bag and pound them to even thickness for more uniform grilling.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

Add the chicken breasts to the bowl and coat them thoroughly in the marinade. Cover and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.

Step 4

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

Step 5

Remove the chicken from the marinade and grill for 6-7 minutes per side, or until the chicken is fully cooked through with an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).

Step 6

Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes.

Step 7

Assemble the sandwich by placing one grilled chicken breast on each of the two large romaine lettuce leaves.

Step 8

Top the chicken with slices of avocado, tomato, and red onion.

Step 9

Sprinkle the crumbled bacon over the top.

Step 10

Drizzle with a tablespoon of Dijon mustard over each sandwich.

Step 11

Fold the lettuce around the fillings like a wrap to enclose the sandwich, and serve immediately.
