Instructions
- Whip Up the Honey Mustard Sauce: In a medium bowl, combine the honey, both Dijon and yellow mustards, mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, and onion powder. Whisk everything vigorously until it’s perfectly smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust if needed, then set aside.
- Crisp the Beef Bacon: Place strips of beef bacon in a cold skillet over medium heat. Cook until golden brown and crispy, about 5-8 minutes. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain and crumble into small pieces.
- Cook the Chicken: In the same skillet, increase the heat to medium-high and add cubed chicken pieces seasoned with salt, pepper, and paprika. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
- Toss with Honey Mustard: Reduce heat to low and pour half to two-thirds of the honey mustard sauce over the cooked chicken. Stir gently to coat and warm through for a minute or two.
- Prepare Your Lettuce Wraps and Toppings: Wash and dry your lettuce leaves, then arrange them on a platter. Chop any additional toppings you plan to use.
- Assemble and Serve: Spoon a generous portion of the warm honey mustard chicken into each lettuce leaf. Sprinkle with crispy crumbled beef bacon and chosen fresh toppings. Serve remaining honey mustard sauce on the side.
