Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced
  • 6 slices bacon
  • 1 1/2 cups chopped romaine lettuce
  • 1 cup halved cherry tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 scallions, thinly sliced

Method
 

  1. Cook bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crisp, about 5 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels, then crumble.
  2. Whisk together the mayonnaise, yogurt, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a large bowl until smooth.
  3. Add the chicken and scallions to the bowl and toss to coat evenly.
  4. Right before serving, fold in the crumbled bacon, romaine, and cherry tomatoes until just mixed.
  5. Scoop onto lettuce leaves, bread, or into wraps, and serve immediately.

Notes

If you’re making this ahead, mix the chicken and dressing up to 2 days in advance and refrigerate. Stir in the bacon, lettuce, and tomatoes just before serving so they stay crisp. For the juiciest texture, a mix of dark and light meat works best.
