Ingredients

  • 1 lb (450g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 ripe avocado
  • 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 1/4 cup diced red onion
  • 1/4 cup diced celery
  • 1/4 cup diced red bell pepper
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Lettuce leaves (such as romaine or butter lettuce) for wrapping

Instructions

  1. Cook the Chicken: Begin by cooking the chicken breasts in a skillet over medium heat until they are cooked through, about 6-8 minutes per side. Make sure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Once cooked, let the chicken cool slightly before shredding it into bite-sized pieces.
  2. Prepare the Avocado Mixture: In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe avocado until smooth. Add the plain Greek yogurt and lime juice, mixing well until combined into a creamy texture.
  3. Combine Ingredients: To the avocado mixture, add the shredded chicken, diced red onion, celery, red bell pepper, and chopped cilantro. Gently toss everything together until evenly mixed. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Assemble the Lettuce Wraps: Take each lettuce leaf and spoon a generous amount of the avocado chicken salad mixture into the center. Wrap the lettuce around the filling, securing it with a toothpick if necessary.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Arrange the wraps on a serving platter and garnish with additional cilantro if desired. These wraps can be served immediately or chilled in the refrigerator for a refreshing cold option.
