Serve Immediately: Enjoy the refreshing chicken lettuce wraps immediately. Garnish with sesame seeds or chopped green onions for extra visual appeal and flavor.
For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a tablespoon of chopped fresh cilantro or mint to the chicken mixture.
If you don't have Greek yogurt, mayonnaise or even sour cream works well as a substitute.
For a spicier kick, add a dash of sriracha or chili garlic sauce to the dressing.
These wraps are best enjoyed fresh, but the chicken mixture can be prepared ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
Consider adding some finely chopped celery or bean sprouts for added crunch.
To make it vegetarian, use crumbled tofu or tempeh instead of chicken.
