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)

Directions

Step 1

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.

Step 2

Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.

Step 3

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.

Step 5

In a small bowl, whisk together the buffalo sauce and melted butter until smooth.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

To assemble the lettuce wraps, lay out the lettuce leaves on a serving plate.

Step 8

Spoon a portion of the buffalo chicken onto each lettuce leaf.

Step 9

Top with julienned carrots, sliced celery, and a sprinkle of blue cheese crumbles.

Step 10

Drizzle with ranch or blue cheese dressing if desired.

Step 11

Serve immediately and enjoy the bold and fresh flavors!
