Curried Chicken Lettuce Wraps image

This take on traditional chicken salad has received rave reviews wherever it's been served. I've even been able to convert my husband, who won't come within 10 feet of traditional chicken salad, into a "more please" kinda guy when I serve these curried chicken lettuce wraps for dinner! Also makes great leftovers as it tastes even better after a day or two!

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 tablespoon olive oil, or to taste
2 cups cubed cooked chicken
2 tablespoons lime juice
salt to taste
1 medium green apple, diced
⅔ cup dried cranberries
¼ cup toasted slivered almonds
2 ½ tablespoons thinly sliced green onions
⅔ cup mayonnaise
½ teaspoon curry powder

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add chicken, lime juice, and salt; cook and stir until chicken is no longer pink, 7 to 10 minutes. Remove from the heat.
