Ingredients

  • 1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, flattened to 1/2-inch thickness

  • 2 avocados, halved, pitted, peeled, and coarsely mashed

  • 2 limes

  • 8 romaine lettuce leaves

  • ½ cup sour cream

  • ½ cup thinly sliced green onions

  1. Heat a grill pan coated with nonstick cooking spray over medium-high heat. Season chicken with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. Add to pan and cook 8 to 10 minutes or until done (165°F), turning halfway through. Remove to a cutting board. Cover and let stand 3 minutes before thinly slicing.
