Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked shredded chicken (rotisserie or leftover)
  • 1 ripe avocado
  • 1/4 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup diced celery
  • 1/4 cup finely diced red onion
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 8–10 butter lettuce leaves

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Shred cooked chicken into bite-sized pieces, using rotisserie chicken for convenience and flavor.
  2. Mash the Avocado: In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe avocado until creamy but still slightly chunky to maintain texture.
  3. Combine Ingredients: Add Greek yogurt, lemon juice, diced celery, red onion, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to the mashed avocado. Stir everything together until well combined.
  4. Add Chicken to the Mixture: Gently fold the shredded chicken into the avocado mixture, being careful not to overmix in order to preserve the salad’s texture.
  5. Prepare the Lettuce Wraps: Wash and thoroughly dry butter lettuce leaves. Spoon generous portions of the avocado chicken salad into each leaf.
  6. Serve and Enjoy: Arrange the wraps on a platter and serve immediately for the freshest taste.

Notes

  • Use ripe avocados for the creamiest texture and best flavor.
  • Mix lemon juice in right away to keep avocado from browning.
  • Keep lettuce leaves crisp by washing, drying well, and storing wrapped in paper towels until serving.
  • Adjust salad consistency by adding more Greek yogurt or a splash of olive oil if needed.
  • Chill the salad briefly before serving to allow flavors to meld, if possible.
