Avocado Chicken Salad Lettuce Wraps are a delicious and healthy meal option, perfect for a light lunch or dinner.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- 1 ripe avocado, mashed
- ½ cup Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 cup diced bell peppers
- ¼ cup diced red onion
- ¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- to taste Salt and pepper
- 1 head Butter or Romaine lettuce leaves
Instructions
- If using leftover chicken, shred it into bite-sized pieces. If cooking fresh chicken, boil or grill it until fully cooked, then shred.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed avocado, Greek yogurt (or mayonnaise), and lemon juice. Stir until creamy and well combined.
- Add the shredded chicken, diced bell peppers, red onion, and cilantro to the avocado mixture. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir gently to combine, being careful not to mash the avocado too much.
- Wash and dry your lettuce leaves thoroughly. Choose larger leaves that can hold the filling without breaking.
- Spoon a generous amount of the chicken salad onto each lettuce leaf. Roll up tightly to form a wrap.
- Arrange the wraps on a serving platter. Serve immediately with additional lime wedges on the side, if desired.
Notes
- Ensure the avocado is perfectly ripe for the best texture.
- You can substitute Greek yogurt with mayonnaise if preferred.
- Feel free to customize the vegetables in the chicken salad according to your taste.
