Instructions
1
Prep
Separate 3 heads baby gem lettuce into 12 cupped leaves. Finely dice 2 celery stalks. Finely chop 3 tbsp tarragon and 3 tbsp chives. Zest 1 lemon. In a bowl, whisk together 120g Greek yogurt, 2 tbsp mayo, 2 tbsp Dijon, 2 tbsp lemon juice, lemon zest, 0.5 tsp salt, and 0.5 tsp pepper until smooth.
2
Boil
Bring a pan of water to a gentle simmer with 2 squeezed lemon halves, 2 bay leaves, and 1 tsp salt. Add 460g chicken breasts and poach at barest simmer 14–16 minutes until internal temp reaches 74°C (165°F), then remove to a plate.
3
Rest
Let poached chicken rest 5 minutes, then shred with two forks while still warm. Transfer shredded chicken to the fridge for 10 minutes to chill completely.
4
Build
Fold chilled chicken, tarragon, chives, and diced celery through the prepared dressing until evenly combined. Spoon roughly 2 tbsp of mixture into each baby gem leaf, dividing evenly.
5
Plate
Arrange 6 wraps in a single layer in each of 2 flat airtight containers. Refrigerate up to 2 days. Serve with baby carrots, celery sticks, or sliced apple for extra fibre and crunch.
