Description
A quick and easy low-carb meal featuring grilled chicken, creamy avocado, and crunchy bacon wrapped in fresh butter lettuce.
Ingredients
- 2 grilled chicken breasts (about 6–8 oz each) — boneless, skinless
- 6 slices thick-cut bacon
- 1 ripe avocado
- 8 large butter lettuce leaves
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper — to taste
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
- Cook the bacon: Heat a skillet over medium or preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Fry bacon 6–10 minutes until crispy; or bake on a sheet pan for 12–18 minutes. Transfer to paper towels to drain and crumble when cool.
- Cook the chicken: Season chicken with salt and pepper. Grill or pan-sear until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C), about 6–8 minutes per side. Let rest, then slice thinly.
- Prepare the avocado: Halve, pit, and slice the avocado. Toss with lemon juice to prevent browning.
- Prepare lettuce cups: Rinse and dry butter lettuce leaves; lay flat on a platter.
- Assemble wraps: Layer sliced chicken, avocado, and crumbled bacon on each lettuce leaf. Season with salt and pepper and garnish with parsley if desired.
Notes
These wraps are best served immediately to maintain crispness. Store components separately if making ahead.
