Ingredients
– 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– ½ cup buffalo sauce
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions
Follow these simple steps to create Buffalo Chicken Lettuce Wraps with Blue Cheese Dressing:
1. Prep Chicken: Start by cutting the chicken breasts into small bite-sized pieces.
2. Cook Chicken: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken pieces and season with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
3. Sauté Chicken: Cook the chicken for 5-7 minutes or until fully cooked and no longer pink in the center. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.
4. Add Buffalo Sauce: Once the chicken is cooked, add the buffalo sauce to the skillet. Toss to coat the chicken evenly and heat through for an additional 2-3 minutes.
5. Prepare Lettuce Wraps: While the chicken finishes cooking, prepare the lettuce leaves by washing and patting them dry. Lay them out on a platter or plate.
6. Assemble Wraps: Spoon the buffalo chicken mixture into each lettuce leaf, ensuring not to overfill.
7. Add Dressing: Drizzle ranch or blue cheese dressing over the buffalo chicken in the wraps.
8. Finishing Touches: Sprinkle crumbled blue cheese on top and garnish with chopped green onions if desired.
9. Serve Immediately: These wraps are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored for later.
This simple process yields a delightful dish that is both satisfying and healthy.
