Ingredients
Scale
- A pinch of salt and pepper (adjust to taste)
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 2 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- A sprinkle of salt and pepper, as needed
- 2 tablespoons chopped parsley (fresh is best)
- 2 tablespoons freshly chopped dill
- 1 clove garlic, finely minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons mayo
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- Crispy chopped bacon (about 6 slices)
- Leaves of butter or romaine lettuce (6 to 8), cleaned and dried
- Chopped fresh parsley for decoration
Instructions
- Cover both sides of the chicken with olive oil, seasonings, and spices like garlic and onion powder, paprika, and a dash of salt and pepper.
- Get a skillet hot over medium heat, then sear or grill the chicken for about 6 minutes per side.
- When it’s thoroughly cooked, let it sit for 5 minutes to stay juicy before slicing into smaller pieces.
- In a small bowl, toss together sour cream, mayo, lemon juice, finely chopped garlic, parsley, and dill. Stir well until smooth and even, adjusting salt and pepper if needed.
- Lay out your lettuce leaves across a plate or tray. Add some diced chicken to each leaf, top it off with that creamy dressing, and finish it with crispy bacon bits.
- Sprinkle fresh herbs like parsley or chives on top to make it pop.
Notes
- Feel free to adjust the amount of bacon based on your preference.
- For a spicier version, add some chili powder to the chicken seasoning.
- Try using different types of lettuce for varied texture and flavor.
