Chicken Club Lettuce Wrap Sandwich
Description
This recipe substitutes traditional sandwich bread with large iceberg lettuce leaves, creating a lighter wrap with a crisp texture. The fillings include thinly sliced chicken or turkey breast, cooked bacon pieces, tomato slices, and a spread of mayonnaise to add moisture and richness.
The wrapping method uses parchment paper to form a firm roll by layering the lettuce leaves and rolling jelly-roll style, tucking in the ends to enclose the fillings tightly. Cutting the wrap partially through while still in the parchment helps maintain its shape when served.
This lettuce wrap sandwich serves well as a fresh and protein-rich lunch or light dinner option, offering a textural contrast between tender meat, crispy bacon, juicy tomato, and crunchy lettuce.
Ingredients
- 1 iceberg lettuce cored and outer leaves removed, head
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise I love Sir Kensington (check labels for W30
- 3 ounces chicken breast organic, about 6 slices, or turkey breast
- 2 Bacon cooked and cut in half (check labels for W30, center cut strips
- 2 tomato thin slices
- 1 piece of parchment paper (about 14" x 14")
Instructions
- Place the parchment paper down on your work surface.
- Layer 6 to 7 large leaves of lettuce in the middle of parchment paper so that you create a lettuce base about 9 inches by 10 inches.
- Spread the mayo in the center of the lettuce wrap.
- Layer with the chicken or turkey, bacon and tomato.
- Starting with the end closest to you, roll the lettuce wraps jelly roll style using the parchment as your base as tight as possible.
- Halfway through rolling, tuck the ends of the wraps towards the middle.
- Continue to roll the lettuce wrap, keeping it as tight as possible and using the parchment paper to guide you.
- When it is completely wrapped, roll the remainder of the parchment around the lettuce tightly.
- Using a serrated knife, cut the lettuce wrap almost completely, leaving a small piece of the parchment intact to help hold it together.
