Why You’ll Love Chicken Lettuce Cups
I have elevated this Chicken Lettuce Cups recipe, and the ✨ magic is in the sauce. Not only is it tangy and salty from the 🥒 pickles and pickle juice, but it’s creamy and a touch sweet from the mayo and honey Dijon mustard. It is absolutely the perfect balance of flavour, and I know you will fall in love with this recipe. You can use any leftover chicken breast and bring it to life with this method. You can also use chicken breast from a store-bought rotisserie chicken or even one you made at home. I had leftover chicken breast from my whole baked chicken recipe that I used. You can feel free to use turkey breast or even tuna in this recipe.
How to Prepare Chicken Lettuce Cups
🐔 Cube leftover chicken breast into small pieces. 🥣 Combine cubed chicken with the rest of the ingredients (mayo, honey Dijon mustard, pickle juice, diced pickles and celery) in a bowl. 🥬 Serve the chicken salad in lettuce cups. 🍞 Optional: Enjoy the chicken salad mixture on pita, toast, sandwiches, salad, mixed with pasta, or any way that you desire!
