Oh my word, you guys . . . what a day/week/month it’s been!

I am so sorry for skipping out on your these last few weeks, I won’t bore you with the details but, boy-O-boy things have been a little cray, cray up in here!

For reals!

It seems that no matter how organized I think I am, how much I plan, or how hard I try, something always seem to come up to throw a spanner in the works!

Tell me that I’m not the only one who has days/weeks/months like this?!

It’s been one thing after another . . . “oi with the poodles already!” (please tell me you get my Gilmore Girls reference?!)

Anyway, it’s times like these that I am extremely thankful for recipes like this . . .

3 ingredients, 5 minutes in the making – erry-body got time for that!

But let me tell you, these simple little lettuce cups are packed with so much flavor that your taste buds, tummy and anyone you share them with, will be all kinds of happy.

5 Minute, 3 Ingredient Curry Chicken Lettuce Cups

{Low Carb – Gluten Free – Dairy Free – Keto & Paleo Friendly}

Makes  2 – 4 all natural, quick and easy, light, fresh, creamy, dreamy, crispy, crunchy, seriously flavorful lettuce cups. (1-2 servings)

Ingredients –

1 cup of cooked chicken – chopped or shredded

For the dressing –

2 Tablespoons of mayo – Homemade or store bought will work –  ( I use Primal Kitchen Foods – {Paleo} Avocado Oil Mayo) ** – could sub coconut or Greek style yogurt

1 teaspoon of your fave curry/Indian spice mix

A squeeze of lime juice (about 1/2 teaspoon)

Salt and pepper to taste

For serving –

Baby coz or butter lettuce leaves, washed and dried

1/2 an avocado, sliced

1-2 Tablespoons of pomegranate arils – fresh or freeze dried
*You could sub dried cranberries, cherries or even red grapes would work here too

Coriander (cilantro)

Method –

1 – Place all of the dressing ingredients into a small bowl or glass jar and stir to combine.

The dressing is quite thick so feel free to add a splash of water (or milk of choice) about 1/2 tsp at a time, to reach desired consistency.  I usually take 1/2-2/3 of the dressing and stir it into the chicken before thinning out the rest to drizzle over the top;

1 – This helps the salad mix hold together nicely in my lettuce cup and,

2 – No one likes a watery salad!!

Then I thin it out whats leftover to drizzle over the top, because I love me a good drizzle!

2 – Place your cooked chicken into a small bowl, add 1/2-2/3 of the dressing and stir to combine.

3 – To serve – Place a few slices of avocado into your prepared lettuce cups, top with your creamy, dreamy, chicken salad, sprinkle with fresh coriander, pomegranate arils and drizzle over the last of that dreamy dressing!

Enjoy xo
