High Protein / Weight Watchers Friendly
Chicken Cobb Lettuce Wraps are a quick way to turn a classic Cobb salad into a high protein lunch or easy dinner.
Each serving has three lettuce wraps and 37 grams of protein, so they’re filling enough for a main meal without needing much on the side.
The combination is familiar: chicken, bacon, hard-boiled eggs, tomatoes, avocado, blue cheese, and a creamy Dijon dressing.
This recipe is also customizable. Leave off the blue cheese, use less avocado, or add more dressing to individual wraps. That makes it simple when everyone at the table likes their Cobb salad a little differently.
Total time is 32 minutes, so it works well for a quick weeknight dinner. All you need for the chicken is a large skillet, and a small bowl handles the dressing.

Notes
Tips and Tricks
Dry the lettuce well – Excess water makes the leaves harder to fill and hold. Use the largest leaves – Save the widest butter lettuce leaves for wrapping the toppings. Keep the toppings separate – This makes it easier to customize individual servings. Prep ahead – The dressing, bacon, eggs, and chopped vegetables can be prepared in advance and refrigerated.Storing and Reheating
Refrigerator – Store the cooked chicken, dressing, lettuce, and toppings in separate airtight containers for up to 3 days. Reheating – Warm the chicken in the microwave until heated through, then assemble the wraps with the cold toppings. Assembled wraps – For best results, assemble just before serving so the lettuce stays fresh.Nutrition
