Notes
Rotisserie chicken works great, but leftover grilled or roasted chicken is great, too. This recipe also works great with roasted turkey.
I like to use butter lettuce for wraps. It’s tender and easy to wrap, but I usually double up the leaves for each wrap. Try romaine or iceberg lettuce leaves if you prefer sturdier/crisper lettuce.
You can make the chicken salad ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator. It will keep for several days. Store the lettuce leaves separately so they don’t wilt.
