Ingredients for Buffalo Chicken Lettuce Wraps

  • Boneless skinless chicken: You can use chicken breasts or chicken thighs.
  • Hot pepper sauce: Use your favorite. My go-to brands are Frank’s Red Hot and Louisiana Hot Sauce.
  • Sweet onion: Adds more flavor to the shredded buffalo chicken.
  • Garlic: A necessity with buffalo chicken.
  • Chicken stock: Adds more flavor to the chicken as it cooks and helps keep it moist.
  • Lettuce: Butter, bibb and romaine are all great options for lettuce wraps. The romaine will be the crispiest option.
  • Shredded carrots: Because you have to have carrots with buffalo chicken. Adds a nice crunch.
  • Celery: Same as with the carrots.
  • Blue cheese: It’s not buffalo without blue cheese. If that’s not your thing, you can leave it off or add shredded cheddar instead.
  • Ranch or blue cheese dressing: Use whichever you prefer.
