Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded or diced (rotisserie chicken works great, about 285g)
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (2% recommended, 120g)
  • 1 tablespoon mayonnaise (optional)
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice (about half a lemon)
  • 1/3 cup celery, finely chopped (about 30g)
  • 1/4 cup red onion, finely diced (about 25g, or green onions for milder flavor)
  • 1/4 cup seedless grapes, halved (about 20g, optional)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried dill)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Optional: 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika or garlic powder
  • 8 large lettuce leaves (iceberg, romaine, or butter lettuce—washed and patted dry, about 120g)
  • Optional toppings: sliced avocado, chopped cucumber or radish, extra fresh herbs, crumbled feta cheese

Instructions

  1. Shred or dice cooked chicken breast. If using rotisserie chicken, remove skin and bones.
  2. Wash and dry lettuce leaves thoroughly using a towel or salad spinner.
  3. Chop celery, red onion, halve grapes (if using), and chop dill and parsley.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, combine Greek yogurt, mayonnaise (if using), Dijon mustard, and lemon juice. Whisk until smooth and creamy.
  5. Add chicken, celery, red onion, grapes, dill, and parsley to the bowl with dressing.
  6. Sprinkle in salt, black pepper, and any optional spices. Gently fold everything together until well combined.
  7. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Add more yogurt or mayo for creaminess if desired.
  8. Lay out lettuce leaves. Spoon about 1/4 cup of chicken salad onto the center of each leaf.
  9. Add optional toppings as desired. Fold sides in and roll up, or fold in half like a taco.
  10. Arrange wraps on a platter or plates. Garnish with extra herbs if desired. Serve immediately for best crunch, or chill chicken salad ahead and assemble just before eating.

Notes

For extra crunch, chill lettuce after washing. Double up lettuce leaves for sturdier wraps. Make chicken salad up to 2 days ahead for meal prep. Use dairy-free yogurt for a dairy-free version. Don’t overfill wraps to prevent tearing. Taste and adjust seasoning before assembling.
