These healthy chicken ranch lettuce sliders are a fresh, light, and satisfying meal that combines tender chicken with creamy ranch filling wrapped in crisp lettuce leaves. Perfect for a quick lunch, snack, or appetizer.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
  • 1/3 cup ranch dressing
  • 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped celery
  • 2 stalks green onion, thinly sliced
  • Large butter lettuce or romaine leaves, washed and patted dry
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill or parsley, chopped (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Shred about 2 cups (around 300 grams) of cooked chicken into bite-sized pieces.
  2. Finely dice 1/2 cup celery and thinly slice 2 green onions. Chop 1 tablespoon fresh dill or parsley if using.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine the shredded chicken, celery, green onions, and herbs. Add 1/3 cup ranch dressing and 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt. Squeeze in 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice. Stir gently until combined but not mushy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Carefully separate large leaves from a head of butter lettuce or romaine. Wash and pat dry thoroughly. Choose leaves big enough to hold a good scoop of filling without tearing.
  5. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the chicken mixture onto each lettuce leaf. Fold or roll the leaf gently to create a mini slider. Secure with a toothpick if desired.
  6. Serve immediately to keep the lettuce crisp. Optionally garnish with extra herbs or a dash of paprika.

Notes

Do not overmix the filling to keep texture. Dry lettuce leaves thoroughly to avoid sogginess. Prepare filling ahead but assemble sliders just before serving. For creamier filling, add more Greek yogurt or ranch dressing carefully. Variations include adding avocado, jalapeños, or swapping greens.
