Buffalo Chicken Lettuce Wraps
These Buffalo Chicken Lettuce Wraps turn your favorite bar food into a portable low carb snack or meal!
Ingredients
- 2 Tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, , (cut into strips(
- ¼ cup buffalo sauce, (hot wings sauce)
- 4 8 inch low carb tortillas
- 1 head romaine lettuce
- 1 celery stalk, (diced)
- ½ cup blue cheese dressing, (or ranch dressing)
Instructions
- Cut boneless, skinless chicken breasts into thin strips about ½ inch thick and about 3 inches long.
- Add vegetable oil to a skillet and heat to medium-high heat.
- Blot the chicken with a paper towel (this is important since it helps prevent sticking) and add the chicken. Season well with salt and pepper.
- Cook, stirring frequently until the chicken is nicely browned and cooked through - about 10 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pan and add to a bowl. Pour the hot wing sauce over and toss to coat.
- On a clean cutting board or plate, lay out a low carb tortilla and top it with one or two romaine leaves. Add 5 or 6 chicken strips, a sprinkle of celery, and a drizzle of blue cheese or ranch dressing.
- Roll up the wraps burrito style and enjoy!
Notes
This recipe makes 4 servings of 1 wrap each.
You can substitute boneless, skinless chicken thighs or chicken tenders if that's what you have on hand
The chicken and wing sauce can be made 3 days ahead of time so all you have to do is pull everything out of the refrigerator and make your wraps.
The finished wraps (both tortilla and romaine lettuce versions) can be made up to 3 hours ahead of time. Wrap and store in the refrigerator until ready to eat.
If you want to make this recipe lower in carbs, you can skip the tortillas and just wrap the chicken in the lettuce leaves and eat it like tacos.
