33g
4 leafs lettuce
60g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Chicken:
- In a medium-sized pot, bring water to a boil.

- While the chicken is cooking, finely chop the 1/2 onion.
- Core and dice the apple into small pieces.

3. Mix the Salad:
- In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, chopped onion, diced apple, and halved grapes.
- Add the 2 tablespoons of almond butter to the bowl.
- Gently mix all the ingredients together until everything is well coated with the almond butter. If needed, add a small amount of water to help the almond butter evenly coat the mixture.
4. Assemble the Lettuce Wraps:
- Rinse and pat dry the large lettuce leaves.
- Lay out the lettuce leaves on a clean surface.
- Spoon an even amount of the chicken and almond butter mixture into the center of each lettuce leaf.
5. Serve:
- Carefully fold each lettuce leaf around the filling to form a wrap.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your healthy and delicious Almond Butter Chicken Salad Lettuce Wraps.

Tips:

- Tip 1: You can poach, grill, or bake the chicken breasts depending on your preference. To keep the chicken moist and juicy, consider poaching them in a lightly seasoned broth.

- Tip 2: Cut all ingredients into uniform small pieces to ensure an even distribution of flavors in each bite.

- Tip 3: For extra crunch, add some chopped nuts like almonds or walnuts to the salad mixture.

- Tip 4: If you don't have almond butter, you can substitute it with peanut butter or any other nut butter of your choice.

- Tip 5: Serve immediately after preparing to maintain the crispness of the lettuce leaves.
