Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375F, and line a baking tray with parchment paper. Lay the bacon strips on the parchment paper, and cook for 20 minutes or until crispy.

While the bacon is cooking, wash and remove the leaves from the butter lettuce. Pat dry.

Dice the chicken, tomatoes, and avocado, and add all three ingredients to a medium mixing bowl. Toss gently to combine.

In a small bowl, mix together the light mayo, and hummus.

Place a spoonful of the mayo-hummus mixture on each lettuce, followed by a spoonful of the chicken, tomato and avocado mixture.

Blot the bacon with paper towel to remove excess grease. Chop the bacon into small pieces, and sprinkle over the lettuce cups. Serve immediately.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Crisp Lettuce Foundation 🥬
Soak butter lettuce leaves in ice water for 15 minutes before assembly to maximize crispness and prevent wilting when filled with warm ingredients.
Strategic Hummus-Mayo Ratio 🥄
Use a 1:1 ratio of hummus to light mayo, then adjust based on desired creaminess—this prevents the spread from becoming too dense while maximizing nutritional benefits.
Chicken Moisture Control 🍗
Pound chicken breasts to even thickness before cooking and slice against the grain after cooking to ensure tender, juicy pieces that won't overpower the delicate lettuce wraps.
Oven-Baked Bacon Timing ⏲️
Arrange bacon strips on a wire rack over a baking sheet at 375°F for 18-20 minutes depending on thickness—this ensures maximum crispness while keeping the fat rendered for flavor.
Pre-Assembly Prep Strategy 📋
Prepare and refrigerate all components separately up to 4 hours ahead, then assemble just before serving to maintain optimal texture contrast between crisp lettuce, creamy spread, and fresh toppings.
