1/4 cup Greek yogurt or mayonnaise Greek yogurt for a healthier option.

1/4 cup celery (diced) For added texture.
1-2 tablespoons fresh lime juice Adjust based on taste.

Method

Preparation

Start by cooking your chicken if it’s not already done—grilling or boiling works perfectly. Once cooled, shred or chop it into bite-sized pieces.
In a large mixing bowl, scoop the ripe avocados and mash them with a fork until they reach a creamy consistency (a few lumps are okay!).
Add the shredded chicken, Greek yogurt (or mayonnaise), red onion, celery, and lime juice to the bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Mix everything together until well combined.
Give it a taste! Adjust the seasoning or add more lime juice if needed.
Wash and dry the lettuce leaves.
Spoon the creamy chicken salad mixture onto the lettuce leaves, folding them like wraps.
Enjoy them fresh or drizzle with a bit more lime juice and top with diced cucumbers or fresh herbs for an extra zing.

Notes

Store any extra avocado chicken salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days. For best results, store the salad separately from the lettuce wraps to maintain crunchiness.
