- ½ tablespoon olive oil
- ½ cup Frank’s Red Hot Wing Sauce (or your favorite Buffalo sauce)
- ½ teaspoon celery seed

- ½ cup thinly sliced celery
- Blue cheese crumbles to sprinkle
- Ranch dressing or blue cheese dressing, for drizzling
- 2 heads of crisp lettuce (romaine or iceberg), leaves separated, rinsed and dried
Instructions
- In a large skillet over medium-high, cook and shred the chicken by adding ½ cup water and shredding as it cooks until the water evaporates.
- Lower heat to medium–low, then add butter and olive oil. Stir until melted.
- Mix in Buffalo sauce, celery seed, and pepper. Remove from heat.
- Fold in the sliced celery.
- Scoop a portion of the chicken mixture into individual lettuce leaves, top with blue cheese crumbles, and drizzle with ranch or blue cheese dressing. Serve immediately while warm.
Notes
- Use rotisserie chicken or shredded turkey for convenience.
- Butter lettuce offers a softer wrap option.
- For dairy-free, omit blue cheese and use dairy-free dressing.
- Top with broccoli slaw or sunflower seeds for added crunch.
- Store chicken and lettuce separately to prevent sogginess.
