Ingredients
4 boneless chicken breasts (6 oz each)
4 large romaine lettuce leaves (about 4 cups shredded)
1/2 cup homemade BBQ glaze (see below)
1/2 cup cooked corn kernels
1/2 cup black beans (canned or cooked, rinsed)
1/4 red onion, finely chopped
1 avocado, sliced
2 tbsp cilantro, chopped
Homemade BBQ Glaze: 1/2 cup ketchup, 2 tbsp maple syrup, 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 tsp ground smoked paprika
Instructions
Whisk ketchup, maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, garlic, smoked paprika, and 1/2 tsp salt to create the BBQ glaze.
Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then brush half the glaze over both sides.
Preheat grill or oven to 400°F. Grill chicken 5–7 minutes per side or bake for 20 minutes, brushing with remaining glaze during the last 2 minutes to caramelize.
Warm lettuce leaves briefly on the grill if desired.
Divide shredded lettuce into 4 cups or use whole leaves as wrappers.
Top each with 3/4 chicken breast (cut into pieces), corn, black beans, red onion, avocado slices, and cilantro. Serve immediately.
Notes
For extra smoky flavor, add grilled bell peppers or zucchini to the mix.
Swap black beans for edamame for a different protein boost.
Store leftovers in airtight containers for up to 3 days (keep avocado separate if possible).
Meal prep tip: Cook chicken and veggies in advance; assemble just before serving.
