Chicken Caesar lettuce cups make the perfect appetizer or low-carb dinner. They are also great for meal planning a quick and easy lunch.

These chicken Caesar lettuce cups make a great lunch or dinner, and they work as an appetizer to serve at parties. They’re light, low-carb and easy to eat as a finger food.

The best part is there are only a four ingredients involved and the chicken salad mixture can be made ahead of time. We really enjoy these in the summer when it’s warm because it makes a nice, light meal.

I often make these when meal planning, and store in the fridge for several days at a time. When ready to eat, I just scoop some out into a lettuce cup and it’s ready to go.

If serving these at a party or get together, drizzling with a little extra dressing and a pinch of Parmesan cheese on top will dress these up a bit more. These also make a great family meal.

If you want to bulk up the meal a bit more, adding tomatoes or croutons or anything else can give it more substance. Kids can also assemble these at school for lunch.
