5-Minute Curry Chicken Salad Lettuce Wraps

Curry Chicken Salad Lettuce Wraps can be assembled in just 5-minutes and with 4-ingredients, making them the perfect solution for busy weeknight dinners or meal prep.

Guys, I won at dinner last night. Not only did I not have to drive to the store, but also, dinner took me all of five minutes to prepare. Meaning I got to spend the rest of my free time photographing this yummy dish – Curry Chicken Salad Lettuce Wraps.

Here’s how it all went down:

• I placed an online order with InstaCart.
• They delivered all my ingredients from QFC right to my office.
• After work, I drove home and assembled these beauties in record time.

How do you make Curry Chicken Salad Lettuce Wraps fast?

• I used a Cashew, Currant and Curry Chef Prepared Chicken Salad from QFC, which is available right in the deli case. (It also comes in Lemon Basil, Classic Dill and Apple, Grape Walnut)

What else do you need to make Curry Chicken Salad Lettuce Wraps?

• Butter Lettuce
• Grapes
• Slivered Almonds

I was able to purchase all the ingredients for under $20, and this recipe serves four, making each serving less than $5. There’s only two of us in our family, but these Curry Chicken Salad Lettuce Wraps are also perfect for meal prep. I packed some along for lunch today too. Such a simple, protein-packed meal solution.

Guaranteed that these are going to be on regular rotation in our house. I can’t wait to try some of the other flavor varieties:

• Lemon Basil Chicken Salad – I’d top this with a bit of pesto, cherry tomatoes and goat cheese.
• Classic Dill Chicken Salad – Topped with diced pickles (or capers), a squeeze of lemon and feta.
• Apple, Walnut and Grape Chicken Salad would be amazing in red cabbage cups with cracked pepper.

Of course, if you happen to have some leftover chicken on hand from this Easy Roasted Chicken recipe, by all means, make that chickens salad from scratch. Here’s a great recipe for Curry Chicken Salad that’s very similar to the one I picked up at QFC.

Regardless of whether you pick up some prepared chicken salad from the deli counter (or have it delivered), or if you make it from scratch, I guarantee that you’ll feel like you won at dinner to with these delicious, easy and budget-friendly Curry Chicken Lettuce Wraps.
