Buffalo Chicken Lettuce Wraps

Tossing the chicken in the hot sauce mixture off the heat, not while it's still simmering, keeps the sauce from breaking into a greasy layer on top.

Ingredients

  • 1.5 lbs chicken breast, cooked and shredded
  • 1/2 cup hot sauce (check label for GF)
  • 3 tbsp dairy-free butter
  • 1 head butter lettuce, leaves separated
  • 1 carrot, julienned
  • 2 tbsp dairy-free ranch or blue cheese-style dressing

Method

  1. 1

    Cook and shred the chicken (poach, bake, or use rotisserie).

  2. 2

    Melt the dairy-free butter in a small saucepan over low heat, then remove from the heat and whisk in the hot sauce until smooth.

  3. 3

    Toss the shredded chicken with the hot sauce mixture off the heat — mixing it off the stovetop like this keeps the emulsion together instead of the butter breaking into a greasy layer on top.

  4. 4

    Spoon the buffalo chicken into lettuce leaves.

  5. 5

    Top with julienned carrot and a drizzle of dairy-free ranch or blue cheese-style dressing.
