Print Recipe

A quick, healthy, and refreshing chicken salad wrapped in crisp lettuce leaves, combining creamy avocado, crunchy cucumber, and tender chicken for a satisfying light meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced (rotisserie chicken recommended)
  • 1 medium cucumber, peeled and diced
  • 1 large ripe avocado, mashed with some chunks
  • 2 tablespoons red onion, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro or parsley, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt or mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 8 large butter or romaine lettuce leaves, washed and dried

Instructions

  1. Shred or dice about 2 cups of cooked chicken and set aside.
  2. Peel (if needed) and dice 1 medium cucumber into small bite-sized pieces.
  3. Finely chop 2 tablespoons of red onion. Soak in cold water for 5 minutes if you want to mellow the sharpness, then drain well.
  4. Scoop out the flesh of 1 ripe avocado into a mixing bowl and mash gently with a fork or potato masher, leaving some chunks for texture.
  5. Add the shredded chicken, diced cucumber, and chopped onion to the bowl with avocado. Stir gently to combine without mashing the cucumber too much.
  6. Add 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh cilantro or parsley, 2 tablespoons of Greek yogurt or mayonnaise, and 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice.
  7. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix gently but thoroughly until the salad is evenly coated and creamy.
  8. Wash and dry about 8 large butter or romaine lettuce leaves. Pat dry and trim stems if needed for sturdier wraps.
  9. Spoon a generous amount of the chicken salad onto each lettuce leaf. Fold or roll the leaves around the filling and serve immediately.

Notes

Use ripe avocados for best texture; soak red onion in cold water to reduce sharpness; assemble wraps just before serving to avoid sogginess; rotisserie chicken saves time; can substitute Greek yogurt with mayonnaise or dairy-free alternatives.
