Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
- 0.5 cup Buffalo sauce
- 2 tbsp Butter, melted
- 8 Romaine or butter lettuce leaves
- 1 Carrot, julienned
- 2 stalks Celery, thinly sliced
- 0.25 cup Blue cheese crumbles
- 0.25 cup Ranch or blue cheese dressing (optional)
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Place the chicken in the skillet and cook for 6-8 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F).
Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for 5 minutes. Then shred or dice the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
In a small bowl, whisk together the buffalo sauce and melted butter until smooth.
Return the shredded chicken to the skillet over low heat. Pour the buffalo sauce mixture over the chicken and gently toss to coat all pieces evenly.
To assemble the lettuce wraps, lay out the lettuce leaves on a serving plate.
Spoon a portion of the buffalo chicken onto each lettuce leaf.
Top with julienned carrots, sliced celery, and a sprinkle of blue cheese crumbles.
Drizzle with ranch or blue cheese dressing if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy the bold and fresh flavors!
