Notes
These lettuce wraps can be served as a main dish or as a side. They are great for meal prep and can be enjoyed on their own or paired with fresh fruit or a light soup. Add extra toppings like sliced tomatoes or cucumber for added flavor and crunch. You can store any leftover chicken salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days, but it's best to wrap the salad in lettuce leaves just before serving to avoid sogginess.
