5. Spoon the chicken salad evenly onto the center of each lettuce leaf.

Helpful Tips

For a more colorful dish, add finely chopped red bell peppers or shredded carrots to the chicken salad. If you prefer a bit of sweetness, fold in some halved grapes or diced apples.

To make the recipe even simpler for beginners, use pre-cooked rotisserie chicken from your local grocery store.

Storage Instructions

Store any leftover chicken salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Assemble the wraps just before serving to prevent the lettuce from becoming soggy.
