Ingredients
  

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 cup buffalo sauce (adjust to taste)

1 tbsp olive oil

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp onion powder

1 tsp smoked paprika

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 head of butter lettuce or iceberg lettuce, leaves separated

1 cup shredded carrots

1 cup celery, diced

½ cup blue cheese or ranch dressing (optional for drizzling)

Fresh cilantro or green onions, for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Cook the Chicken: In a skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil. Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika. Once the oil is hot, place the chicken in the skillet. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

    Shred the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes. Once it's cool enough to handle, shred the chicken using two forks or your hands.

      Toss in Buffalo Sauce: In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken with buffalo sauce. Mix until the chicken is well coated. Adjust the amount of buffalo sauce according to your spice preference.

        Prep the Lettuce Wraps: Take the separated lettuce leaves and rinse them under cold water. Pat them dry gently with a paper towel.

          Assemble the Wraps: Take a lettuce leaf and fill it with a generous scoop of the buffalo chicken mixture. Top with shredded carrots and diced celery for crunch.

            Garnish: If desired, drizzle with blue cheese or ranch dressing, and sprinkle fresh cilantro or green onions on top for extra flavor.

              Serve and Enjoy: Arrange the prepared lettuce wraps on a platter and serve immediately. Enjoy the fresh, tangy, and spicy flavors!
