Ingredients
  

Chicken Salad Filling
  • 2 cups cooked chicken shredded
  • 1 4 cup Greek yogurt or mayonnaise
  • 1 4 cup celery finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons red grapes halved
  • 1 teaspoon mustard optional
Wrap Base
  • 6 large lettuce leaves romaine or butter lettuce
  • 1 4 teaspoon sea salt to taste
  • 1 4 teaspoon black pepper optional

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Knife
  • Serving Tray
  • Spoon
  • Freezer
  • Storage Containers

Method
 

  1. Mix shredded chicken, Greek yogurt, celery, grapes, and mustard together until creamy and evenly combined.
  2. Season the chicken salad lightly with sea salt and black pepper for balanced flavor.
  3. Arrange lettuce leaves on a serving tray, keeping them crisp and intact for wrapping.
  4. Spoon chicken salad into the center of each lettuce leaf without overfilling the wraps.
  5. Serve immediately for fresh crunchy texture, or chill briefly before packing for later meals.

Notes

Serve immediately for crisp lettuce texture or chill slightly for firmer filling. Avoid freezing assembled wraps because lettuce softens after thawing. Freeze chicken salad separately if preparing ahead. Handle wraps gently while folding to prevent tearing. Customize flavors with avocado, pecans, cranberries, or spicy seasoning. Store refrigerated for three days.
