Chicken Salad with all the flavors of a bacon lettuce tomato and avocado sandwich, without the heavy bread! This chicken salad is so flavorful and so hearty, and even carb lovers will love this lettuce wrap recipe!
Itโs been a while since Iโve shared a lettuce wrap recipe but every now and then I like to add them into our dinner rotation.
One of my favorite lettuce wrap recipes are these Turkey Taco Lettuce Wraps I shared, and I also love these Asian Chicken Lettuce Wraps.
Since Iโve decided lettuce wraps really are a good thing I decided to make another โ these BLTA Chicken Salad Lettuce Wraps and Iโm so glad I did!
Iโve long been a fan of the classic BLTA sandwich but it can be one of those things that you feel kind of weighed down after eating but thatโs definitely not the case with these wraps!
You can make this a little healthier than I did if youโd like by using light mayonnaise, I just wanted it to have more of that classic blt flavor that uses the real deal full fat stuff.
And to cut more fat you can omit or only use half of the avocado and use 4 of 5 slices of bacon. But on the other hand, if you donโt care about the added carbs then this is also really delicious served in bread to make sandwiches (just add lettuce as well).
These will be perfect for a summer lunch during the warm months ahead, or of course just for a delicious easy dinner! Use rotisserie chicken breasts (from a larger rotisserie chicken) for a nice shortcut.
