Directions

Step 1

Start by preparing the chicken: Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.

Step 2

Rub the chicken breasts with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and internal temperature reaches 165°F (73°C).

Remove the chicken from the grill, let it rest for 5 minutes, then slice it thinly.

Step 5

For the pesto: In a food processor, combine fresh basil leaves, minced garlic, pine nuts, and lemon juice.

Step 6

While the processor is running, slowly stream in the avocado oil until the pesto is smooth and emulsified.

Step 7

Adjust seasoning with salt, as needed.

Step 8

To assemble the wraps: Lay a lettuce leaf flat and add a few slices of grilled chicken down the center.

Step 9

Drizzle a tablespoon or two of pesto over the chicken.

Step 10

Top with halved cherry tomatoes and sliced cucumber.

Step 11

Roll the lettuce leaf around the fillings tightly to form a wrap.

Repeat with the remaining ingredients to make additional wraps.
