Ingredients
Scale
Chicken Salad
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded (rotisserie chicken recommended)
- ¼ cup plain Greek yogurt
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- 3 tablespoons onions, finely chopped
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 1 avocado, seeded, peeled, and diced
Wrap
- Romaine hearts or bibb lettuce, about 16 leaves
Instructions
- Mix the base: In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, plain Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, finely chopped onions, and lemon juice. Stir thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are evenly incorporated, creating a creamy and tangy chicken salad base.
- Season and add avocado: Season the mixture with salt and freshly ground black pepper to your taste preference. Gently fold in the diced avocado, being careful to keep the pieces intact for added texture and creaminess.
- Prepare the lettuce cups: Wash and dry the romaine hearts or bibb lettuce leaves carefully to maintain their crispness. These will serve as your wraps, providing a fresh and crunchy vessel for the chicken salad.
- Assemble and serve: Spoon the chicken salad mixture into each lettuce leaf, creating individual wraps. Serve immediately to enjoy the contrast between the creamy filling and the crisp lettuce.
Notes
- Use freshly cooked or high-quality rotisserie chicken for best flavor.
- For a healthier version, use Greek yogurt in place of some or all mayonnaise.
- Adjust lemon juice and seasoning to your taste to balance the creaminess of avocado and mayo.
- Serve the wraps chilled for maximum freshness and crunch.
- Optionally, add extras like chopped celery or fresh herbs for additional texture and flavor.
