Ingredients
  

Chicken Filling
  • 1 lb Chicken Breast Lean protein base providing heartiness; swap for ground turkey to lighten it up.
  • 1/2 cup Buffalo Sauce Adds iconic spicy flavor; use homemade for extra zing or sweet chili sauce for milder heat.
Wraps
  • 1 head Lettuce Leaves Preferably Romaine or Butter; choose sturdy leaves to handle the filling.
  • 2 Green Onions Provides a mild flavor and vibrant color; chives work well as a substitute.
Optional Toppings
  • Blue Cheese or Ranch Dressing Creamy contrast to the heat; skip for a dairy-free delight or choose vegan options.

Equipment

  • skillet
  • cutting board
  • Knife
  • Large spoon
  • kitchen towel

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Prepare the chicken by dicing the chicken breast into small, even pieces. Heat a splash of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Sauté the chicken in the skillet for 5–7 minutes until it becomes opaque and golden on the outside.
  3. Pour in the buffalo sauce over the cooked chicken and stir well for about 2–3 minutes to coat evenly.
  4. Wash the lettuce head under cold water, separate the leaves, and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
  5. Assemble the wraps by spooning a portion of the spicy chicken mixture into each lettuce leaf, leaving space at the edges.
  6. Top each wrap with chopped green onions and drizzle with blue cheese or ranch dressing if desired.
  7. Serve the wraps immediately while the chicken is warm and the lettuce is crisp.
