Open the can of chicken and squeeze out all the extra water until it's not liquidy.

Put the chicken into a bowl and break it up with a fork until there are no huge chunks left.

Add the spices (salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, Lawry's seasoning salt, turmeric) to the chicken and mix well.

Add the thinly sliced almonds to the chicken mixture and mix again.

Add the mayonnaise to the chicken mixture and mix until well combined, adjusting the amount to your preference.

Squeeze a little lemon juice from a lemon wedge into the mixture and mix again.

Cut off the very end of the romaine lettuce to create big leaves for wrapping.

Optionally, rub the inside of the lettuce leaf with lemon for added flavor.

Place the chicken salad in the center of the lettuce leaf, ensuring not to overfill it.

Wrap the lettuce around the chicken salad, creating a handheld wrap, and cut in half to serve.
