Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Start by trimming any excess fat from the chicken breasts and cutting them into bite-sized pieces. Season them with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.

  2. 2

    Slice the Onion

    Peel and slice the onion into thin rings or half-moons, depending on your preference.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Heat the Olive Oil

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until it's hot but not smoking.

  2. 4

    Sauté the Onions

    Add the sliced onions to the skillet and sauté for about 3-4 minutes, or until they are translucent and slightly caramelized.

  3. 5

    Cook the Chicken

    Add the seasoned chicken breast pieces to the skillet with the onions. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the center.

  4. 6

    Add the BBQ Sauce

    Once the chicken is cooked, pour the BBQ sauce over the chicken and onions. Stir well to coat everything evenly and let it simmer for another 2-3 minutes to heat through.

Assembly

  1. 7

    Wrap the Chicken

    Take a lettuce leaf and place a generous spoonful of the BBQ chicken mixture in the center. Wrap the lettuce around the filling to create a wrap.

  2. 8

    Serve

    Repeat the wrapping process with the remaining lettuce leaves and chicken mixture. Serve immediately while warm.
