Ingredients
- 1 large head butter lettuce washed and patted dry (You may need 2 heads of lettuce if feeding a lot of people. 1 lettuce leaf = 1 wrap)
- 4-5 cups leftover rotisserie chicken shredded or cubed
- 1 gala apple *Keep separate and cut fresh at each serving to prevent browning
- 1 stalk celery diced
- ¼ cup craisins
- ¼ cup pecans or walnuts chopped
- 2 tablespoon red onion optional
- 4 tablespoon mayo
- 1 lemon (½ juiced for the dressing, ½ juiced for the apples)
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- To a large bowl; add leftover rotisserie chicken, diced celery and onion, chopped nuts, and craisins.
- In a small bowl, combine mayo and the juice of ½ of a lemon until smooth.
- Pour mayo dressing overtop of the chicken salad mixture and stir until combined. Salt and pepper to taste. (You may need to double the dressing if the salad still looks dry)
- Dice apple, and add to a small serving bowl. Toss with the juice of the remaining ½ of the lemon. Tip: If serving this only once, you can add the apple & lemon juice right in with the chicken salad mixture.
- Assemble lettuce wraps by topping lettuce leaves with chicken salad mixture, and then top with apples.
- Enjoy.
Notes
*If you don't like or can't find butter lettuce, you can also use romaine or Boston bib.
*If you are cooking chicken for this recipe (not using leftover rotisserie chicken) then you will want to season the chicken generously with your favorite spices. Some spices to try would be curry powder, turmeric, or rotisserie chicken seasoning.
