Grilled Chicken Avocado Wrap

Grilled chicken avocado wrap with spinach makes a quick easy chicken recipe that is healthy, nutritious and delicious; especially when time is short and preparing a big meal is not an option.

Also a great choice when you are on the go; save yourself a few good pounds you would otherwise spend on a not-that-great bought sandwich, this wrap is sheer goodness.

New Year, new resolutions. And the most famous one: losing weight. I know, December was a hell of a month, too much shopping, eating and drinking. So a healthier January may sound like a good plan. Although in reality statistics show that the eating healthily doesn’t really last that long around this time of the year. Oh well, at least we try.

But you know what, quick healthy recipes can be truly delicious and super easy to make. Take this wrap, it has got the healthiest stuff you can ask for: avocados, known for the countless health benefits, spinach, a super leaf loaded with vitamins and minerals, and chicken, an easy and light meat that can safely be consumed if you are on a diet.

As long as you grill or bake it, I guess. Frying doesn’t really count here. But does it not sound pretty amazing? So much goodness in one wrap. Not to mention that is so filling, you won’t feel peckish anymore afterwards. Don’t you just love chicken avocado recipes?

Chicken can be replaced with any leftovers, like turkey. I have tried it in this Healthy leftover turkey wraps with cranberry sauce and it was really delicious. Same goes for leftover beef, lamb or pulled pork.

Going back to the chicken avocado wrap, ONE TIP HERE! Once you peel and cut the avocados, they tend to brown really quickly, so to keep them fresh for longer, squeeze some lemon juice over the cut slices, that will prevent them from browning.

Trust me on this, l tried it myself and it works. Now, since the wrap is so tasty, l expect it to be eaten in two shakes of a lamb’s tail, but just in case, l guess it’s good to know.

And do you know what? There might be many healthy chicken avocado wrap recipes out there, but this is one of its kind. You must try it, and you’ll see it for yourself! Right, let’s get wrapping now!

1. To cook the chicken, cut the chicken breasts into strips, add them to a bag together with the salt, pepper, paprika, granulated garlic and oil.

2. Give the bag a good shake so that the chicken can be well coated.

3.  Heat up a grill pan, add the chicken and cook on both sides until done, about 3 minutes on each side.

4. Peel and slice the avocado, then squeeze the lemon juice over.

5. Transfer the chicken to a plate, warm up the tortilla wraps for a few seconds on each side, so the folding can be done easier.
