Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 large leaves Butter lettuce leaves
- 2 pieces Cooked chicken breast
- 1 medium Cucumber
- 1 large Tomato
- 0.25 medium Red onion
- 0.5 cup Kalamata olives
- 2 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 medium Lemon
- 0.25 cup Fresh parsley
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Begin by washing the butter lettuce leaves gently under cold water. Pat them dry with a paper towel and set aside.
Take the cooked chicken breasts and slice them into thin, bite-sized strips. Alternatively, you may shred the chicken if preferred.
Peel the cucumber and cut it into small dices. Similarly, dice the tomato into small pieces. Place both in a mixing bowl.
Finely dice the red onion and thinly slice the Kalamata olives, adding them to the mixing bowl with the cucumber and tomato.
In a small bowl, combine the extra virgin olive oil and the juice of one lemon. Mince the garlic cloves and add them to the olive oil mixture.
Roughly chop the fresh parsley and add half of it to the vegetable mixture in the bowl. Reserve the remaining parsley for garnish.
Pour the olive oil dressing over the vegetable mixture and toss well to combine.
Layer each lettuce leaf with a couple of slices (or shreds) of chicken breast, then top with a generous spoonful of the vegetable mixture.
Season each wrap with a pinch of salt and black pepper, adjusting the amount to taste.
Garnish with the remaining parsley before serving. Roll up the lettuce leaves or serve them open-faced.
Enjoy these fresh Mediterranean lettuce wraps immediately for the best taste and texture.
