Remove the chicken from the oven and allow it to cool slightly. Once cooled, shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces using two forks.
In a large bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice. Stir well to combine.
Add the shredded chicken, chopped celery, red onion, and fresh parsley to the mayonnaise mixture. Mix until all the ingredients are well coated.
Season the chicken salad with garlic powder, additional salt, and pepper to your taste.
To assemble the wraps, place a generous scoop of chicken salad onto the center of each romaine lettuce leaf.
Wrap the lettuce around the filling and serve immediately. Enjoy these crisp and flavorful lettuce wraps.
