Ingredients:
- 340g (2 cups) cooked chicken, shredded (use rotisserie for convenience)
- 60g (¼ cup) plain Greek yogurt
- 60g (¼ cup) mayonnaise
- 3 tablespoons finely chopped onion
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 1 ripe avocado, seeded, peeled, and diced
- 16 romaine hearts or bibb lettuce leaves, for serving
Directions:
- Mix the Salad: In a medium-sized bowl, combine the shredded chicken, Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, chopped onion, and lemon juice. Stir until everything is well mixed.
- Season: Add salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Stir in the diced avocado gently, so it stays chunky but well incorporated.
- Serve: Spoon the avocado chicken salad into cold, crisp lettuce leaves, forming wraps. Serve immediately for the freshest taste.
Notes:
- Substitutions: You can swap the Greek yogurt for sour cream or skip the mayo for a lighter version.
- Avocado Tip: To prevent the avocado from browning too quickly, toss the diced avocado in a little extra lemon juice before mixing it into the salad.
- Make-Ahead: Prepare the chicken salad ahead of time, but wait to add the avocado until just before serving to keep it fresh.
