Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/2 cup buffalo sauce your favorite brand
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 head of butter or iceberg lettuce
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup diced celery
  • 1/4 cup sliced green onions
  • Optional: Blue cheese or ranch dressing for drizzling

Method
 

  1. Preparation Steps
  2. Preparing the Chicken
  3. Seasoning: Sprinkle the chicken strips with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Toss them to ensure they're evenly coated.
  4. Slice the Chicken: Begin by slicing your chicken breasts into thin strips. This will help them cook faster and absorb more flavor.
  5. Cooking the Chicken
  6. Buffalo Sauce: Pour in the buffalo sauce and reduce the heat to medium. Stir until the chicken is well-coated and the sauce bubbles gently. Let it simmer for about 2-3 more minutes.
  7. Cook: Once the pan is hot, add the seasoned chicken strips. Cook for about 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally until they're golden and fully cooked through.
  8. Heat the Pan: Place a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
  9. Assembling the Wraps
  10. Add Toppings: Sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese, diced celery, and sliced green onions. Add a drizzle of blue cheese or ranch dressing if desired.
  11. Layer the Ingredients: Place a spoonful of the buffalo chicken mixture onto each lettuce leaf.
  12. Prepare the Lettuce: While the chicken is cooking, separate the lettuce leaves. Wash and dry them thoroughly, patting gently with a towel to ensure they're crisp.
  13. Serving Suggestions
  14. Serve and Enjoy: Arrange the lettuce wraps on a platter and serve immediately. These are great for a cozy family meal or can be doubled for a fun, casual gathering with friends.
