Ingredients

• 2 pieces Chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 4 tablespoons Paleo Peri Peri sauce
• 4 large pieces Lettuce leaves
• 1 large Tomato
• 0.5 medium Red onion
• 1 large Avocado
• 4 small Coconut flour tortillas
• 1 teaspoon Sea salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 teaspoons Lemon juice
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves

Directions

Step 1

Start by preparing the marinade for the chicken. Mince the garlic cloves and place them in a bowl. Add the olive oil, Peri Peri sauce, sea salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

Step 2

Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board. Use a sharp knife to butterfly them, ensuring they are of even thickness for quick and uniform cooking.

Step 3

Place the chicken in a shallow dish and cover with the marinade. Ensure they are fully coated, and let them marinate for at least 10 minutes. If you have more time, refrigerate and marinate for up to 2 hours.

Step 4

While the chicken is marinating, slice the tomato and red onion thinly. Dice the avocado and sprinkle with lemon juice to prevent browning. Set the veggies aside.

Step 5

Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated chicken breasts. Cook for about 6-8 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and lightly charred. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (75°C).

Step 6

Remove the chicken from the pan and let it rest for a few minutes. Slice the chicken into a few thick slices.

Step 7

Warm the coconut flour tortillas on the same pan for about 30 seconds on each side, just enough to heat them through.

Step 8

Assemble the sandwich by placing a tortilla on a plate. Add a lettuce leaf as the base, followed by slices of chicken, tomato, red onion, and avocado on top.

Step 9

Fold the tortilla over to encase the filling slightly. Repeat for the remaining tortillas.

Step 10

Serve the sandwiches warm, perhaps with additional Paleo Peri Peri sauce on the side for dipping.
