Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, sea salt, and black pepper to form a marinade.

Step 6

While the chicken is grilling, prepare the burger toppings: wash and dry the lettuce leaves, slice the tomato, avocado, and red onion.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Squeeze the lemon juice over the grilled chicken breasts for an added burst of flavor.

Step 9

Assemble the burgers by placing a grilled chicken breast on two lettuce leaves, then top with tomato slices, avocado slices, and red onion.
