Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Cooked chicken breast, shredded or diced
- 0.5 cups Mayonnaise
- 0.25 cups Plain Greek yogurt
- 0.5 cups Celery, diced
- 0.25 cups Red onion, finely chopped
- 0.75 cups Red grapes, halved
- 0.25 cups Slivered almonds, toasted
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 8 large leaves Romaine lettuce leaves
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, plain Greek yogurt, and lemon juice. Stir until well blended to create the dressing.
Add the cooked chicken breast, celery, red onion, red grapes, slivered almonds, and chopped parsley to the bowl with the dressing.
Season the mixture with salt and black pepper, then gently fold everything together until evenly coated.
Wash and dry the romaine lettuce leaves, ensuring they are sturdy and large enough to hold the chicken salad mixture.
Spoon a generous portion of the chicken salad into the center of each lettuce leaf to create a 'cup.'
Arrange the filled lettuce cups on a serving platter and garnish with extra parsley or almonds if desired.
Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve, ensuring the lettuce cups stay crisp.
