Description

Chicken Salad Lettuce Wraps are the ultimate quick-fix lunch for work-from-home parents. These wraps combine tender shredded chicken, crisp celery, and sweet grapes, all tossed in a creamy dressing. Wrapped in butter lettuce, they’re light, refreshing, and surprisingly satisfying. Whether you’re squeezing in a quick bite between meetings or need a no-fuss meal while managing the chaos of parenthood, this recipe is your go-to option.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup shredded cooked chicken (use rotisserie or leftover chicken for convenience)
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt for a lighter option)
  • 1/4 cup diced celery
  • 1/4 cup halved seedless grapes
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 large butter lettuce leaves

Instructions

  1. Mix the filling: In a medium-sized bowl, combine shredded chicken, mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt), celery, grapes, salt, and black pepper. Stir until everything is evenly coated.
  2. Assemble the wraps: Lay out the butter lettuce leaves and spoon equal portions of the chicken salad mixture into each leaf.
  3. Serve and enjoy: Fold the lettuce leaves like tacos and enjoy immediately!

Notes

  • Make it your own: Add nuts like slivered almonds or walnuts for a crunchy texture.
  • Swap ingredients: Don’t have grapes? Use dried cranberries or diced apples for a touch of sweetness.
  • Meal prep tip: The chicken salad can be made ahead and stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Assemble the wraps fresh for the best texture.
  • Vegan option: Replace the chicken with mashed chickpeas or diced tofu and use a vegan mayo.
