Greek Yogurt Chicken Salad Lettuce Wraps

I've been making these Turmeric Greek Yogurt Chicken Salad Lettuce Wraps for a quick, high-protein lunch or dinner for YEARS and they're still one of my top faves! Made in under 30 minutes with crunchy pecans, savory olives, sun-dried tomatoes, and anti-inflammatory turmeric, these wraps are equal parts creamy, tangy, crunchy, and so full of flavor. They’re gluten-free, have 27 grams of protein in each serving, and as a busy mom of 3, I love that no cooking is required!

Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked chopped chicken cut into small cubes
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt dairy or vegan
  • 1/4 cup chopped pecans plus extra for garnish
  • 1/4 cup chopped green olives
  • 6-8 sun dried tomatoes in oil chopped small
  • 2 medium scallions thinly sliced (light and dark green parts), plus extra for garnish
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground turmeric
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 8 medium lettuce leaves butter lettuce or romaine!
  • 1 small Haas avocado thinly sliced
  • hot sauce as garnish

Pickled Red Onion (as garnish)

  • 1/2 medium red onion halved and thinly sliced
  • 1 1/2 Tablespoons white vinegar
  • 3 Tablespoons water
  • 1/2 teaspoon honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • Combine the Pickled Red Onion ingredients (except for the onion) in a medium jar and microwave for 1 minute or until simmering. Carefully submerge the sliced onions into the hot liquid and let stand until ready to use.
  • In a large bowl, mix together the chicken cubes, green yogurt, pecans, olives, sun-dried tomatoes, scallions, turmeric, cumin, salt, garlic powder and pepper until well combined.
  • Divide the turmeric chicken salad mixture between 8-10 lettuce leaves.
  • Top with a few slices of avocado, chopped scallions, chopped pecans, pickled red onion, and a sprinkle with hot sauce.

Notes

  • I typically eat 3-4 cups as a serving, depending on the size of lettuce.
  • Feel free to swap the olives with peperoncino!
