Description

Bright and bold Buffalo Chicken Lettuce Wraps combining warm, buttery chicken with crispy lettuce, creamy blue cheese, and fresh celery.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large chicken breasts (cooked and shredded)
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • ½ tablespoons olive oil
  • ½ cup Franks 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. Place the chicken breasts in a large skillet and add enough water to cover them by about a half inch, then set over medium high heat.
  2. Bring the water to a gentle simmer and cook the chicken until it is no longer pink inside.
  3. Using two forks, shred the chicken right in the skillet while it finishes cooking.
  4. Once the chicken is cooked and shredded, lower the heat slightly and add the butter and olive oil, stirring until the butter melts.
  5. Pour in the Franks Red Hot Wing Sauce and sprinkle in the celery seed, stirring continuously to fully coat each strand of shredded chicken.
  6. Remove the skillet from the heat and fold in the thinly sliced celery.
  7. To assemble, spoon the buffalo chicken into individual lettuce leaves, scatter blue cheese crumbles over the top, and drizzle with ranch dressing.
  8. Serve immediately to keep the lettuce crisp and enjoy your wraps!

Notes

Feel free to adjust the buffalo sauce to taste for a milder or spicier result. Keep your lettuce chilled for crispness.
