Ingredients

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced

1/2 cup buffalo sauce (adjust to taste)

1 tbsp olive oil

1/2 tsp garlic powder

1/2 tsp onion powder

Salt and pepper to taste

1 cup shredded carrots

1 cup celery, finely chopped

1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese (optional)

1/2 cup ranch or blue cheese dressing

1 head of romaine or butter lettuce, leaves separated

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

Cook the Chicken: In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Once hot, add the diced chicken breasts. Season with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked and no longer pink in the center.

Add Buffalo Sauce: Lower the heat and pour the buffalo sauce over the cooked chicken. Mix well to ensure all pieces are coated. Allow to simmer for another 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Prepare the Veggies: While the chicken is simmering, wash and dry the lettuce leaves. In a separate bowl, combine shredded carrots and chopped celery.

Assembly Time: Once the chicken mixture is ready, carefully take a lettuce leaf and spoon in a generous amount of the buffalo chicken. Top with the shredded carrots, chopped celery, crumbled blue cheese (if using), and a drizzle of ranch or blue cheese dressing.

Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle fresh parsley on your assembled wraps for a pop of color and taste. Serve immediately while the chicken is warm.
