Description

Spicy and savory Buffalo chicken lettuce wraps offer a satisfying crunch and indulgent flavor without the heaviness of traditional wraps.


Ingredients

  • 2 large chicken breasts (cooked and shredded)
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • ½ tablespoon olive oil
  • ½ cup Frank’s Red Hot Wing Sauce
  • ½ teaspoon celery seed
  • Fresh pepper to taste
  • ½ cup thinly sliced celery
  • Blue cheese crumbles
  • Ranch dressing
  • 2 heads of lettuce (romaine or iceberg, rinsed and patted dry)


Instructions

  1. Cook and shred your chicken in a large pan over medium/high heat with ½ cup of water until all water evaporates.
  2. Add the butter and olive oil, stirring until melted and combined.
  3. Pour in the hot sauce and add the celery seed along with fresh pepper to taste.
  4. Remove from heat and stir in the thinly sliced celery.
  5. Assemble the wraps by scooping a spoonful of the chicken mixture into the lettuce leaves.
  6. Sprinkle with blue cheese crumbles and drizzle with ranch dressing.
  7. Serve immediately while warm.

Notes

For a milder wrap, reduce the amount of hot sauce. Fresh celery adds crunch and flavor.
