Chicken salad is one of my favorite items to eat for lunch or a quick dinner. Once you put it in a lettuce wrap, you have a quick, healthy, and satisfying meal. These Poppy Seed Chicken Salad Wraps have a light, refreshing citrus flavor. Perfect for lunch on a hot summer day.
Recipe Notes
- I had a large leftover chicken breast from dinner the night before. You could also buy about a pound of boneless, skinless chicken breast and cook it. Or, buy a rotisserie chicken.
- I only like a tiny hint of orange flavor. I used the zest from probably a quarter of the orange. Add it slowly and taste to see how you like it before adding it all at once.
- If you have any leftover lettuce, place a paper towel in the bottom of a storage container or freezer bag and place the leaves in. They will keep fresh for a few days in the fridge.
- You can use any leftover almonds in this 5 Minute Broccoli Slaw. The leftover lettuce in these BLTT Wrap-Bacon Lettuce, Tomato, and Turkey. Then, the leftover sour cream in these Chicken Zucchini Enchiladas.
An easy way to save money at the grocery is to look at what you have in the fridge or pantry leftover from the week before. Try to roll over ingredients so you are not wasting items or throwing things out. For example, if you needed to buy sour cream or celery for this recipe, make sure you use it next week in a recipe instead of throwing it out. I always look in my fridge before I make my grocery list on Sundays. Then, make a mental note of things that I need to use and try to create my next week’s meals based partly on items I know I have and need to use.
