Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced (rotisserie chicken recommended)
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt, full-fat or low-fat
  • 1 tablespoon ranch seasoning mix (no-sugar-added or homemade)
  • 1/2 cup celery, finely chopped
  • 2 stalks green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 810 large butter lettuce or romaine leaves, washed and dried

Instructions

  1. Shred or dice 2 cups of cooked chicken and set aside.
  2. Finely chop 1/2 cup celery and thinly slice 2 green onions. Chop 1 tablespoon fresh dill if using.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt with 1 tablespoon ranch seasoning mix. Stir until smooth.
  4. Add the shredded chicken, celery, green onions, and dill to the bowl with the dressing. Toss gently to coat evenly.
  5. Season with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting gradually.
  6. Gently separate and dry 8-10 large butter lettuce or romaine leaves.
  7. Spoon the chicken salad mixture into each lettuce leaf, folding or rolling them like cups.
  8. Arrange on a platter and serve immediately for best freshness and crunch.

Notes

Use cold Greek yogurt for a thick and creamy dressing. Dry lettuce leaves thoroughly to avoid sogginess. Shred chicken by hand for better texture. Adjust ranch seasoning gradually to avoid overpowering the yogurt’s tang. Prepare chicken salad up to 2 days ahead and keep lettuce separate until serving.
