Low Carb Chicken Club Sandwich Lettuce Wrap
All the flavors of a classic chicken club, wrapped in crisp lettuce with bacon, cheese, avocado, and a tangy mayo-Dijon sauce.
Ingredients
- 8-12 leaves iceberg or large romaine lettuce rinsed and well dried
- 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts patted dry
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- 8 slices bacon cooked crisp
- 4 oz cheddar or Swiss cheese sliced
- 1 large tomato thinly sliced
- 1 ripe avocado sliced
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 1 tbsp fresh chives finely chopped, optional
- 1/4 cup pickle chips optional
- 1/4 cup red onion very thinly sliced, optional
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 400°F (204°C). Arrange bacon on a lined sheet pan and bake 12 to 15 minutes until crisp; drain on paper towels. Alternatively, cook in a skillet over medium heat until crisp.
- Season chicken with salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high; cook chicken 4 to 5 minutes per side until the center reaches 165°F (74°C). Rest 5 minutes, then slice thinly.
- In a small bowl, stir together mayonnaise, Dijon, lemon juice, and chives (if using) until smooth.
- Lay a sheet of parchment on your work surface. Overlap 2 to 3 large lettuce leaves to form a rectangle. Pat dry again if needed.
- Spread a thin line of sauce down the center of the lettuce base. Layer on sliced chicken, bacon, cheese, tomato, and avocado. Add onion and pickles if using.
- Fold the short sides of the lettuce over the filling. Use the parchment to help roll tightly from the long side into a compact wrap.
- Let the wrap rest seam-side down for 3 to 5 minutes to set. Slice in half with a sharp knife.
- Repeat with remaining ingredients. Serve with extra sauce and freshly cracked black pepper.
Notes
- Double-layer your lettuce for a sturdy, no-drip wrap.
- Keep wet ingredients like tomato and pickles in the center to protect the lettuce.
- For meal prep, store components separately and assemble right before eating.
