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
Cook and shred the chicken (poach, bake, or use rotisserie).
- 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
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
Spoon the buffalo chicken into lettuce leaves.
- 5
Top with julienned carrot and a drizzle of dairy-free ranch or blue cheese-style dressing.
