Avocado Chicken Salad Lettuce Wraps
Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1½ pounds diced chicken breast roughly 3 boneless, skinless breasts
- ¼ cup finely chopped shallot
- 12 large lettuce leaves I like Boston, Bibb, or Butter lettuce for this
For the dressing:
- 1 ripe avocado ideally a medium-sized avocado
- 1 large garlic clove
- ½ packed cup fresh basil leaves
- ¼ cup chopped chives
- Juice of ½ lemon
- Juice of ½ lime
- ¼ teaspoon honey or agave
- Kosher salt
- Pinch of cayenne pepper optional
For serving: (optional)
- 1 cup fresh sprouts I prefer spicy sprouts, but any kind of sprouts will do.
- 1 jalapeño thinly sliced
- 2-3 baby radishes thinly sliced
- Lime wedges
Instructions
- Start by making the dressing. Place all the ingredients in the bowl of a food processor. Process until very smooth, scraping down the sides of the bowl a few times if necessary.
- Transfer the dressing to a mixing bowl. Add the diced chicken breast and shallot, and toss to combine. Taste and season with a little extra salt and cayenne pepper if necessary.
- Time to assemble your lettuce wraps! Pile chicken salad onto lettuce leaves. Top with sprouts and garnish with jalapeño and radish slices. Serve with lime wedges and go to town.
Notes
These wraps are delicious with a little hot sauce (for the spice addicts) and/or goat cheese (for the cheese lovers).
