Ingredients
- 2 pieces boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions
Preheat the grill or a grilling pan over medium-high heat.
Season the chicken breasts with sea salt and black pepper on both sides.
Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil on the grilling surface. Once heated, place the chicken breasts on the grill and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
Remove the chicken from the heat and let it rest for a few minutes. Then, cut into small cubes.
In a large mixing bowl, add the cubed chicken, mayonnaise, chopped celery, chopped red onion, halved grapes, diced apple, sliced almonds, and chopped dill.
Mix all the ingredients together until well combined. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Take one lettuce leaf, place a generous scoop of the chicken salad mixture into it, and wrap it up tightly.
Repeat with the remaining chicken salad and lettuce leaves.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Whole30 Chicken Salad Lettuce Wrap!
