Equipment

  • Cutting Board
  • Knife
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Rubber Spatula
  • mandolin (optional to replace cutting board and knife)

Ingredients

  • 5.3 oz container of plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons coleslaw dressing
  • 1 tsp sriracha
  • ½ tsp lemon juice
  • Pinch salt + pepper
  • 1 cup shredded chicken
  • ¼ cup red onion
  • ½ cup celery
  • ½ cup diced apple
  • ½ cup red pepper
  • ½ cup orange pepper
  • ½ cup cucumber
  • 4 pieces romaine lettuce

Instructions

  • Start off by preparing your ingredients. I cooked chicken breast I already had on hand, but you could also use an already cooked rotisserie chicken. See the notes below for some tips on preparing chicken if needed.
  • In a mixing bowl, add Greek yogurt, coleslaw dressing, lemon juice, sriracha, and salt + pepper. Whisk it all together.
  • Next, finely dice all of the fruits and vegetables. I used a mandolin chopper and it was so quick and efficient. I loved how everything came out the same size.
  • Add diced fruits and veggies to the Greek yogurt mixture. Then, stir in the shredded chicken.
  • Wash and dry your romaine lettuce leaves. Then, add chicken salad mixture to the center to create lettuce wraps.
  • Top with salt and pepper and serve. You can also serve on fresh rolls or with crackers.

Notes

I recommend storing the chicken salad and lettuce separately. Storing them together would make the lettuce soggy. The chicken salad will have some excess moisture in it after storage because of the high water volume of the vegetables. Strain it prior to serving or use a slotted spoon to avoid excess water.
I love getting a little bit of each ingredient in EVERY bite. I use a vegetable mandolin to ensure that the veggies are all the same size. It makes the chicken salad super tasty!
I suggest you check out my Ninja Foodi Grilled Chicken blog post for some tips on preparing the best grilled chicken. You can also use rotisserie, canned, or pre-shredded chicken for convenience. I love the pre-shredded chicken from Costco or Target.
