Buffalo Chicken Lettuce Wraps
A spicy and creamy chicken filling wrapped in crisp lettuce leaves, perfect for a light meal or appetizer.
Ingredients
Chicken Filling
- 2 large chicken breasts (cooked and shredded)
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 0.5 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 cup Frank's Red Hot Wing Sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon celery seed
- Fresh pepper to taste
- 0.5 cup thinly sliced celery
- Blue cheese crumbles For topping
- Ranch dressing For drizzling
Lettuce Wraps
- 2 heads of lettuce (Romaine or iceberg, rinsed and patted dry)
Instructions
Cooking Chicken
- In a large pan, cook the chicken over medium-high heat with 1/2 cup of water. Use two forks to shred the chicken while it cooks, about 5-7 minutes. By the time it’s fully cooked, all the water should have evaporated.
- Once the chicken is shredded, reduce the heat to medium-low. Add the butter and olive oil, stirring until melted and fully combined.
- Pour in the Frank’s Red Hot Wing Sauce, followed by the celery seed and fresh pepper to taste. Stir everything together and let it heat through for another 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
- Remove the pan from heat and gently fold in the thinly sliced celery, allowing it to mix with the flavors.
Assembling Wraps
- To assemble the wraps, take a spoonful of the chicken mixture and place it into the center of a lettuce leaf.
- Finish by sprinkling with blue cheese crumbles and drizzling a little ranch dressing on top.
- Serve immediately while still warm for the best taste experience!
Notes
For optimal enjoyment, serve these Buffalo Chicken Lettuce Wraps warm. Garnish with fresh herbs or additional blue cheese for extra flavor.
