Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Clean and pat dry the chicken breast. Slice it into small, bite-sized pieces.
- Heat the olive oil in a pan over medium heat.
- Add the chopped onions and sauté until they are soft and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the sliced chicken to the pan. Cook the chicken, stirring occasionally, until it is thoroughly cooked and no longer pink inside, about 6-8 minutes.

- Wash the lettuce leaf and pat it dry with a paper towel.
- Lay the lettuce leaf flat on a plate.
- Spoon the chicken mixture onto the center of the lettuce leaf.
- Drizzle the mustard evenly over the chicken mixture.
- Carefully fold the sides of the lettuce over the chicken mixture, forming a wrap.
- Serve immediately while the chicken is still warm.
Tips:
- For added flavor, marinate the chicken breast in a mixture of olive oil, salt, pepper, and a little lemon juice for 30 minutes before cooking.
- Chop the onion finely to ensure it blends well with the other ingredients while providing a mild sweetness to the dish.
- To save time, you can use pre-cooked or leftover chicken breast.
- Feel free to use different types of lettuce, such as romaine or butter lettuce, to suit your preference.
- Add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice over the finished wrap for a zesty twist.
- For an extra kick, you can mix a little bit of sriracha or hot sauce with the mustard.
