  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x
  • Method: Stovetop
  • Cuisine: American

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 oz cooked chicken breast, shredded or diced
  • 2 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt (full-fat or 2%)
  • 1 stalk celery, finely diced
  • 1/4 cup bell pepper (any color), finely diced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill or parsley, chopped (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 4–6 large lettuce leaves (butter or romaine)

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Prepare the chicken by shredding or dicing the cooked chicken breast into small, uniform pieces.
  2. Step 2: In a medium bowl, combine the shredded chicken, plain Greek yogurt, finely diced celery, finely diced bell pepper, Dijon mustard, and black pepper. If using, stir in the chopped fresh dill or parsley. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined and the chicken is coated.
  3. Step 3: Wash the large lettuce leaves under cool water and gently pat them dry with a paper towel. Arrange the prepared leaves on a serving plate.
  4. Step 4: Spoon an equal portion of the chicken salad mixture into the center of each lettuce leaf.
  5. Step 5: Serve the lettuce wraps immediately. You can fold the sides of the lettuce over the filling to eat them as wraps, or enjoy them as open-faced boats.

Notes

  • To keep your chicken salad fresh and crunchy, store the prepared mixture in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days, and keep the lettuce leaves separate until you're ready to assemble your next delicious wrap.
  • This dish is designed to be enjoyed cold and fresh, so no reheating is needed; simply grab your prepped chicken salad from the fridge, wrap it in a crisp lettuce leaf, and savor a quick, cool meal.
  • While perfect in lettuce wraps, try serving your chicken salad mixture scooped onto sturdy cucumber slices for an extra refreshing bite, or alongside a handful of cherry tomatoes for a quick and colorful low-carb lunch.
  • For the best texture and flavor, make sure your celery and bell pepper are very finely diced, allowing them to integrate perfectly into the creamy chicken salad and provide a consistent crunch in every bite.
