Chicken Caesar Lettuce Cups
Ingredient
-
4 ounces sourdough bread, cut into 1/2-in. pieces (about 2 1/2 cups)
-
2 tablespoons canola oil
-
¼ cup 2% reduced-fat plain Greek yogurt
-
2 tablespoons water
-
3 tablespoons mayonnaise
-
¼ cup finely shredded Parmesan cheese
-
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
-
½ teaspoon kosher salt
-
½ teaspoon black pepper
-
2 romaine lettuce hearts (about 8 oz. each)
-
2 cups chilled, chopped roasted chicken breast (about 6 oz.)
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Toss together bread and oil in a large bowl; spread in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake in preheated oven until golden brown and toasted, about 10 minutes, stirring once halfway through cooking. Set aside to cool.
-
While bread toasts, whisk together yogurt, water, mayonnaise, Parmesan, mustard, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Cut 5 inches from the top of each romaine lettuce heart; set aside 8 of the largest leaf tops for lettuce cups. (Save remaining leaves for another use or discard.) Chop bottom section of each romaine lettuce heart into bite-size pieces. Add chopped lettuce, chicken, and cooled bread to bowl with dressing; toss to coat. Divide evenly among 8 reserved lettuce cups.
