Dressing
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions
- Combine Chicken and Veggies: In a large bowl, mix together the shredded chicken, crumbled bacon, diced avocado, and halved cherry tomatoes ensuring an even blend of ingredients.
- Prepare Dressing: In a separate smaller bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, salt, and pepper until smooth and well combined.
- Mix Dressing with Chicken Salad: Pour the prepared dressing over the chicken mixture and gently fold together until all ingredients are coated evenly without mashing the avocado.
- Assemble Wraps: Take individual romaine lettuce leaves and spoon a generous amount of the chicken salad mixture onto each leaf.
- Wrap and Serve: Carefully wrap the lettuce around the filling to form a handheld wrap and serve immediately for a fresh, crunchy bite.
Notes
- Use cooked chicken breast, rotisserie chicken, or leftover chicken for ease and flavor.
- For extra crunch, add chopped celery or cucumbers to the chicken salad.
- Substitute mayonnaise with Greek yogurt for a lighter dressing option.
- These wraps are best enjoyed fresh to keep lettuce crisp.
- Can be stored separately in the refrigerator for up to 2 days; assemble just before serving.
