Description
A delightful and healthy twist on buffalo chicken, perfect for a cozy weeknight dinner in just 30 minutes.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb shredded cooked chicken (rotisserie works great!)
- ½ cup buffalo sauce (adjust for spice preference)
- ¼ cup cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 head of iceberg or romaine lettuce (for wraps)
- Optional toppings: diced green onions, avocado slices, crumbled blue cheese, or ranch dressing
Instructions
- Shred the chicken: If you’re using a rotisserie chicken, carefully shred the meat using two forks in a large bowl.
- Mix the sauce: In a separate bowl, combine the shredded chicken, buffalo sauce, and softened cream cheese. Stir until all the ingredients meld into a deliciously creamy and spicy mixture.
- Add cheese: Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese.
- Prepare the lettuce wraps: Carefully separate the lettuce leaves, keeping them whole for wrapping.
- Assemble and serve: Spoon the buffalo chicken mixture onto each lettuce leaf. Top with your choice of diced green onions, creamy avocado, crumbled blue cheese, or a drizzle of ranch dressing.
- Enjoy: Roll up the lettuce wraps and take a big, satisfying bite!
Notes
Great for leftovers; keep the filling and lettuce separate until ready to eat. Marinate the chicken in buffalo sauce overnight for deeper flavor.
