Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups cooked and finely shredded chicken breast
  • 1/2 cup light mayo
  • 2 tbsp dried minced onion
  • 1 tsp celery salt
  • romaine lettuce leaves
  • 6 slices cooked bacon
  • 1-2 medium ripe avocado (about 8 oz or 1 cup diced without skin and pit)
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes sliced in half
  • kosher salt and pepper

Method
 

  1. Combine shredded chicken, dried minced onion, celery salt, light mayo, and freshly ground pepper in a bowl.
  2. Stir thoroughly until well blended, then place the mixture in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the onions to soften.
  3. Cut the avocado in half and remove the pit, then score the flesh vertically and horizontally without cutting through the skin; scoop out the diced pieces into a small bowl.
  4. Mix the diced avocado with lime or lemon juice, then season generously with kosher salt and pepper.
  5. Cook bacon by your preferred method or heat fully cooked bacon in the microwave for about 25 seconds on a paper towel-lined plate to crisp it up, then chop.
  6. Layer 2 to 3 romaine leaves together to create a sturdy base.
  7. Spoon about 1/2 cup of the chilled chicken salad onto the lettuce leaves.
  8. Top with sliced cherry tomatoes, chopped crispy bacon, and the prepared avocado mixture.
  9. Serve immediately or store components separately in the fridge and assemble fresh wraps when ready to eat to maintain crispness.

Notes

  • These wraps keep well up to three days when ingredients are stored separately in the refrigerator. For Weight Watchers, weigh avocado in grams for accurate points. The chicken can be rotisserie, Instant Pot shredded, crockpot, or baked chicken. Romaine or iceberg lettuce works best for crunch; bibb lettuce is softer. If celery salt is unavailable, use sea salt, pepper, and a pinch of garlic powder as a substitute but avoid celery seed.
