Ingredients

• 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• 4 pieces large lettuce leaves
• 1 large tomato
• 0.25 medium red onion
• 1 medium avocado

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, sea salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag, and pour the marinade over them. Add the fresh lemon juice and ensure the chicken is well-coated. Let it marinate for at least 10 minutes.

Step 4

While the chicken is marinating, prepare the toppings: slice the tomato, thinly slice the red onion, and slice the avocado.

Step 5

Remove the chicken from the marinade and place it on the preheated grill. Cook each side for about 6-8 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Use a meat thermometer to ensure it's cooked through.

Step 6

Assemble the sandwich: begin with a large lettuce leaf as the base, place a grilled chicken breast on top, then add slices of tomato, red onion, and avocado.

Step 7

Finish with another large lettuce leaf on top as the 'bread', and secure each sandwich with a toothpick if necessary.

Step 8

Serve immediately and enjoy your Whole30 Classic Grilled Chicken Sandwich!
