Ingredients

  • 3 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced
  • 1/2 cup dried cranberries
  • 2 celery stalks, finely diced
  • 1/4 cup red onion, finely diced
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 8 large romaine, butter lettuce, or iceberg lettuce leaves
  • 1/4 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
  • 1 small apple, finely diced (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked chicken, dried cranberries, celery, and red onion.
  2. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper.
  3. Pour the dressing over the chicken mixture and stir until evenly coated.
  4. Fold in the optional pecans, walnuts, apple, or parsley if using.
  5. Wash and thoroughly dry the lettuce leaves.
  6. Spoon a generous amount of chicken salad onto the center of each lettuce leaf.
  7. Fold the sides inward and roll up tightly like a wrap.
  8. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to enjoy.

Notes

  • Rotisserie chicken is a convenient and flavorful option.
  • For a lighter version, replace all of the mayonnaise with additional Greek yogurt.
  • Add grapes, pears, or avocado for extra flavor and texture.
  • Store the chicken salad and lettuce separately for best freshness.
  • The chicken salad can be prepared up to 2 days in advance.
  • Serve with fresh fruit, vegetable sticks, or a side salad.
