Clean Eating Chicken Salad Lettuce Wraps


Hi everyone!

I made this chicken salad recipe for this week's lunches... and it so delicious! Traditional chicken salad is not usually a recipe I would recommend because of the high amounts of mayo it is made with...but my lightened up version is way healthier AND even better, in my opinion. It's the perfect recipe to get you in the Spring mood.

Here's the recipe~ I hope you'll try it!





Clean Eating Chicken Salad Lettuce Wraps

Ingredients

~One Rotisserie Chicken, deboned and diced (or 4 cups grilled chicken)

~One cup celery, diced

~1 ½ cups grapes, halved

~1/2 cup green onions, diced

~1/2 cup carrot sticks

~3/4 cup 2% Greek yogurt, plain

~2T Mayo (prefer Hellmans Organic)



Instructions

  1. Combine all ingredients in a large bowl. Stir to fully mix ingredients.

  2. Enjoy on a bed of lettuce or in a lettuce leaf of your choice.

  3. This recipe can be used to meal prep lunches. This made three lunches for myself and Three lunches for my husband with a little leftover.
