Pineapple White Balsamic Rotisserie Chicken Lettuce Wraps

Description

Tender rotisserie chicken, crisp vegetables, and fresh pineapple are tossed in a bright Pineapple White Balsamic dressing with Persian Lime Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Butter lettuce keeps the wraps light and fresh while cilantro and red onion add color, crunch, and savory balance.

Recipe Overview

Servings: 4
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: None
Total Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients

3 cups shredded rotisserie chicken, skin removed
½ cup fresh pineapple, finely diced
½ cup shredded carrot
¼ cup thinly sliced red onion
¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
10–12 butter lettuce leaves, separated, rinsed, and thoroughly dried
¼ cup Pineapple White Balsamic, divided
2 tablespoons Persian Lime Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
¼ teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste if needed
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

• In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons Pineapple White Balsamic, the Persian Lime Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Dijon mustard, kosher salt, and black pepper until combined.

• In a large bowl, combine the shredded rotisserie chicken, diced pineapple, shredded carrot, red onion, and cilantro.

• Pour about three-quarters of the dressing over the chicken mixture and toss gently until everything is evenly coated. Add more dressing only as needed; the filling should be flavorful and lightly dressed rather than wet.

• Taste before adding additional salt. Rotisserie chicken can already be well seasoned, so adjust only if needed.

• Spoon the chicken mixture into the dry butter lettuce leaves just before serving.

• Finish the wraps with the remaining 1 tablespoon Pineapple White Balsamic and any reserved dressing, to taste. Serve immediately.

Chef’s Tip

Keep the filling lightly dressed and assemble the wraps just before serving. Too much liquid will soften the lettuce quickly. Drying the lettuce thoroughly and holding back part of the dressing until the end keeps each wrap crisp while still delivering plenty of pineapple-balsamic flavor.

Flavor Variations

• Garlic & Roasted Chili Fused Olive Oil can replace the Persian Lime for a savory version with roasted-chili heat that contrasts with the tropical Pineapple White Balsamic.
• Mango White Balsamic can replace the Pineapple White for a softer tropical fruit profile that works especially well with cilantro and red onion.
• Coconut White Balsamic can replace the Pineapple White for a rounder tropical version; keep the Persian Lime Olive Oil for citrus contrast.
• Add sliced avocado just before serving for extra richness and a creamy contrast to the crisp lettuce.

Pairings

Serve with coconut rice, cucumber salad, a light cabbage slaw, grilled vegetables, or fresh fruit. For a more substantial meal, add chilled sesame noodles or a simple rice-and-cucumber side.

Recipe Notes

Persian Lime Extra Virgin Olive Oil is used as the primary oil because its bright lime character is a natural match for Pineapple White Balsamic and chicken.

The dressing is added gradually instead of pouring the entire amount over the filling at once. Lettuce wraps are best when the filling is moist but not wet, so reserving some dressing protects the crisp texture and lets each person add more at the table if desired.

Fresh pineapple adds both texture and acidity, while shredded carrot and red onion provide extra crunch and fresh contrast to the tender chicken.

For food safety, keep the rotisserie chicken refrigerated until you are ready to prepare the filling and refrigerate any leftovers promptly.
