Keto Shredded Chicken Lettuce Wrap

Our Keto Shredded Chicken Lettuce Wrap can be either a perfect side salad or a delicious wrap. We make this often. In fact, shredded chicken is something we always have on hand for wraps, Mexican plates, and salads. It will pair well with any vegetables, Keto taco shells, or in Cobb salads. It eliminates carbs, adds a lot of protein, and can be used for any type of cuisine.

The best part of our Shredded Chicken Lettuce Wrap – it is as easy to make as it is flexible. We had friends over last night for a casual evening. The weather was ideal. A meatball casserole was our quick meal choice. We will post our version shortly, but any get-together takes extra effort. With great friends it is worth it, of course, but the next evening you often need a quick and easyTasty Low Carb meal. Our Shredded Chicken Lettuce Wrap is the answer!

Ingredients

The only cooking involved is the shredded chicken. Other than that basic ingredient, the rest is a simple salad. You can use whatever additional ingredients you have on hand. We like Bibb Lettuce, tomato, onion, and cheddar cheese. Nothing unusual – all easily obtainable – and a combination that simply tastes great together. Our special ingredient is avocado. It makes the recipe “Keto.” It also adds that creamy texture that goes so well in any salad.

Preparation Tips

Whether you wrap it for a hand-held taco substitute or eat this special recipe as a simple salad, it will be delicious. Once you have the chicken cooked and shredded it is simply presentation. Joanie likes to use “Bibb Lettuce.” It provides larger leaves, a soft texture, beautiful plate presence, and it tastes great as a bed for your chicken.

You can shred rotisserie chicken or any grilled version. However, Joanie likes to use boiled chicken breasts. This poaching technique produces a softer more versatile chicken. Without the seasonings used in cooking on the grill or a tougher skin from roasting, you can add taste with your choice of spices and vegetables. The technique is simple, cover with water, cook on a low simmer for 15 minutes. After cooling, shred with two forks.

Assembly is all that is required once your chicken has cooled. Start with a bed of Bibb Lettuce. The shredded chicken can be combined in a bowl with the other salad ingredients. Cherry tomatoes, chopped green onion, and cheddar cheese are necessities. We also love the flavor of avocado. Joanie dices the avocado before folding into the mixture. She then squeezes fresh lime juice over the entire mixture. This not only preserves the color of he avocado, it also serves as a simple lime juice dressing. Topping with a few dashes of Cholula Hot Sauce is a perfect touch!
