Cookware
chef's knife · colander · cutting board · measuring spoons · mixing bowls · stainless steel or cast iron skillet · tongs
Directions
- Wash and dry all produce.
- Mix the spices in a bowl, then reserve ¼ teaspoon of the blend for garnishing.
- Preheat a skillet over medium heat.
- Cut the chicken thighs into ¼-inch strips and toss with the spice mixture until evenly coated.
- Add coconut oil to the skillet and swirl to coat the bottom.
- Cook the chicken, stirring occasionally, until it is golden and cooked through, about 7–10 minutes.
- While the chicken cooks, halve the grape tomatoes and set them on a plate.
- Trim the green onions and cut them into ¼-inch pieces; place next to the tomatoes.
- Split the avocados, remove the pits, and slice the flesh thinly; place next to the tomatoes and onions.
- Separate the lettuce leaves from the core and lay them on a plate.
- Trim the celery ends and cut the sticks into thirds.
- To serve, spoon chicken into lettuce leaves, top with tomatoes, green onions, and avocado slices, then sprinkle with the reserved spice mix. Serve with celery sticks on the side.
Two tips
- Make-ahead: refrigerate chopped tomatoes, onions, avocado slices, and cooked chicken separately up to 1 day; assemble just before serving.
- Serving idea: if you have extras, pile avocado and tomatoes on the lettuce before adding the chicken for a fuller wrap, or use extra lettuce leaves with the same toppings.
