Description

These Delicious Chicken Salad Lettuce Wraps offer a light and comforting meal option, combining tender shredded chicken with a creamy, tangy dressing and crisp romaine lettuce leaves that serve as a fresh, low-carb vessel. Perfect for a quick lunch or a satisfying snack, these wraps are flavorful, easy to make, and ideal for those seeking a gluten-free and low-carb meal.

Ingredients

Scale

Chicken Salad

  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup celery, diced
  • 1/4 cup red onion, diced
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Wrap

  • 1 head of romaine lettuce, leaves separated

Instructions

  1. Prepare the chicken salad: In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded cooked chicken with mayonnaise, diced celery, diced red onion, and Dijon mustard. Stir thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are well incorporated.
  2. Season the mixture: Add salt and pepper to taste, mixing again to distribute the seasoning evenly throughout the chicken salad.
  3. Prepare lettuce wraps: Take individual leaves of romaine lettuce, making sure they are intact and can hold the filling without tearing.
  4. Assemble the wraps: Spoon an ample amount of the chicken salad mixture into the center of each lettuce leaf, shaping it to fit comfortably without overfilling.
  5. Serve immediately: Wrap the lettuce around the filling carefully and serve the wraps fresh to maintain the crispness of the lettuce and freshness of the salad.

Notes

  • For a healthier version, use light mayonnaise or Greek yogurt instead.
  • Add chopped fresh herbs like parsley or dill for extra flavor.
  • You can substitute romaine lettuce with butter lettuce or iceberg for different textures.
  • Customize the filling by adding grapes, nuts, or apples for added crunch and sweetness.
  • Store leftover chicken salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
