Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked chicken breast shredded
- ¾ cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt
- 2 celery stalks diced
- 2 tablespoons red onion diced
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 8 large romaine lettuce leaves
Instructions
- Wash the romaine lettuce leaves thoroughly under cool running water and pat them completely dry using paper towels or a clean kitchen towel. Set the leaves aside while preparing the filling.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the plain nonfat Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper. Stir until the mixture is smooth and evenly blended.
- Wash the celery stalks and dice them into small, uniform pieces. Finely dice the red onion as well, ensuring the pieces are small enough to distribute evenly throughout the filling.
- Add the diced celery and red onion to the Greek yogurt mixture. Stir well so the vegetables are evenly coated with the dressing.
- Place the shredded cooked chicken breast into the bowl with the Greek yogurt mixture. Using a spoon or spatula, gently fold everything together until the chicken is evenly coated and all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
- Taste the chicken mixture and adjust the seasoning with additional salt, black pepper, or Dijon mustard according to your preference.
- Arrange the prepared romaine lettuce leaves on a serving platter or individual plates. Spoon an even amount of the Greek yogurt chicken mixture into each lettuce leaf, being careful not to overfill them.
- Serve immediately while the lettuce remains crisp and fresh. If meal prepping, store the chicken mixture and lettuce separately in airtight containers and assemble the wraps just before eating.
