Ingredients

• 2 pieces boneless skinless chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 8 leaves romaine lettuce leaves
• 1 medium, sliced cucumber
• 1 medium, chopped tomato
• 0.5 medium, thinly sliced red onion
• 1 medium, sliced avocado
• 4 tablespoons Whole30-compliant mayonnaise
• 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.

Step 2

Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Seal the bag or cover the dish and let the chicken marinate for at least 15 minutes (or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator for more flavor).

Step 3

Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Remove the chicken from the marinade and grill for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

Step 5

Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and allow it to rest for a few minutes before slicing it into thin strips.

Step 6

While the chicken is resting, prepare the dressing by mixing the Whole30-compliant mayonnaise and Dijon mustard in a small bowl.

Step 7

Lay out the romaine lettuce leaves and divide the grilled chicken, cucumber, tomato, red onion, and avocado evenly among them.

Step 8

Drizzle the dressing over the top of each wrap and sprinkle with fresh parsley.

Step 9

Fold the lettuce around the fillings to create a wrap and serve immediately.
