Ingredients
1 lb cooked chicken breast, shredded
1/2 cup buffalo wing sauce (check for sugar-free if keto)
1 tbsp olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup red onion, finely diced
1 head Butter or Bibb lettuce, leaves separated and washed
1/4 cup blue cheese crumbles or ranch dressing (optional)
1/4 cup green onions, sliced
1/2 cup shredded carrots for garnish
Instructions
Step 1: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced red onion and minced garlic, sautéing for 2-3 minutes until softened and fragrant.
Step 2: Add the shredded chicken to the skillet and pour the buffalo sauce over it. Stir well to ensure the chicken is evenly coated and heated through (about 3-5 minutes).
Step 3: While the chicken is warming, prepare the lettuce leaves by rinsing them under cold water and patting them completely dry with a paper towel.
Step 4: Spoon approximately 1/4 cup of the buffalo chicken mixture into the center of each lettuce leaf.
Step 5: Garnish the buffalo chicken lettuce wraps with shredded carrots, green onions, and a drizzle of ranch or blue cheese crumbles if desired. Serve immediately.
Notes
To make this recipe even faster, use a rotisserie chicken from the grocery store. For extra crunch, add diced celery to the chicken mixture.
