Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
- ¼ cup buffalo sauce
- 2 tbsp ranch or blue cheese dressing
- 1 tbsp chopped green onions
- Lettuce leaves (romaine, iceberg, or butter)
Optional Toppings
- Celery, chopped
- Blue cheese crumbles
Instructions
- Mix the filling: In a medium bowl, combine the cooked shredded chicken with buffalo sauce and your choice of ranch or blue cheese dressing. Mix thoroughly until the chicken is well-coated and flavorful.
- Prepare the boats: Lay out the lettuce leaves on a serving plate, making sure they are intact to hold the filling securely.
- Assemble: Spoon the buffalo chicken mixture evenly into each lettuce leaf, forming neat boats.
- Add toppings: Sprinkle chopped green onions on top, and add optional celery pieces or blue cheese crumbles for extra crunch and flavor.
- Serve: These lettuce boats are best enjoyed immediately for maximum freshness and crispness.
Notes
- Use canned chicken as a convenient shortcut to reduce prep time.
- These boats are great for meal prep but should be assembled right before serving to maintain lettuce crispness.
- Substitute buffalo sauce and dressings to adjust spice and tang to your preference.
- Choose iceberg or butter lettuce for a sturdier wrap experience.
