Ingredients:
2 cups cooked chicken breast (shredded or diced)
1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (or mayonnaise)
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 cup celery (finely chopped)
1/4 cup red onion (finely chopped)
1/4 cup fresh parsley (chopped)
Salt and pepper to taste
8-10 large lettuce leaves (preferably Romaine or Butter Lettuce)
Instructions:
Prepare the Chicken: Begin by cooking the chicken breast. You can either boil, grill, or pan-sear it, depending on your preference. Once the chicken is fully cooked, let it cool slightly before shredding it using two forks or chopping it into small bite-sized pieces.
Make the Salad Dressing: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt (or mayonnaise), Dijon mustard, lemon juice, garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir well until the ingredients are fully blended into a creamy dressing.
Combine the Ingredients: Add the shredded chicken, celery, red onion, and fresh parsley to the dressing. Mix thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are evenly coated with the dressing. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Assemble the Wraps: Carefully wash and dry the lettuce leaves. Choose the largest, most intact leaves, as they will serve as your “wrap.” Spoon the chicken salad mixture onto each lettuce leaf. Be generous with the filling, but avoid overstuffing to ensure the wraps stay intact.
Serve and Enjoy: Fold the sides of the lettuce leaves over the filling, then roll them up like a burrito or taco. Serve immediately for a fresh and crunchy meal.
