Ingredients
  

2 cups of cooked and shredded chicken breast

1/2 cup of plain Greek yogurt

1/4 cup of mayonnaise

1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard

1 teaspoon of fresh lemon juice

1 teaspoon of garlic powder

1/4 teaspoon of salt

1/4 teaspoon of black pepper

1/2 cup of diced cucumber

1/2 cup of halved cherry tomatoes

1/4 cup of finely diced red onion

1/4 cup of crumbled feta cheese

1/4 cup of pitted Kalamata olives, sliced

4 large lettuce leaves (such as romaine or butter lettuce)

Fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions
 

In a large mixing bowl, thoroughly combine the shredded chicken, Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until the chicken is evenly coated with the dressing.

    Carefully fold in the diced cucumber, halved cherry tomatoes, red onion, feta cheese, and sliced Kalamata olives, ensuring all ingredients are well incorporated. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

      Take four large lettuce leaves and lay them flat on a serving platter like boats. These will serve as the base for your salad filling.

        Generously spoon the Greek chicken salad mixture into each lettuce leaf, packing it in to create a delightful and hearty presentation.

          Garnish with freshly chopped parsley on top to enhance the visual appeal and add an aromatic hint of flavor.

            Serve immediately for the freshest taste, or refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld together beautifully.
