Buffalo Chicken Lettuce Wraps
Anyone else a huge fan of buffalo chicken ANYTHING?! I stumbled across a few recipes for crockpot buffalo chicken but they all called for stock but I wanted to keep it more simple than that!
Feel free to double the recipe (I would keep the chicken to just a single layer on the bottom of your crockpot though).
What you need:
1 lb chicken breast
Water
Garlic (I used the freeze dried diced garlic)
Onion Powder
Frank's Hot Sauce (original not buffalo)
If you prefer, you can omit the onion powder & garlic, instead throw in a 1/2 onion (just cut in 1/2) & a couple of celery stalks for flavor, both are great options.
Instructions:
1. Place chicken in the crock pot. Cover the chicken with water.
2. Sprinkle in some onion powder and garlic to taste. (I did not measure, just winged it)
3. Cook on high for 3 hours.
4. Remove chicken, shred it.
5. Discard most of the water from the crockpot (and any funk in it). Keep about 1/4 cup water in the crockpot.
6. Add chicken back into the crockpot with the water and 1/3 to 1/2 cup hot sauce (depends on how much you want). Cook for an additional 30 minutes.
7. Serve over Romaine Lettuce. Add cheese and ranch. I use Bolthouse Farms Yogurt Ranch.
For my Fix family: 1 red, 1 blue & 1 green (I had some pretty big lettuce leafs)
