Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 large chicken breasts (cooked and shredded) Use rotisserie chicken for quicker preparation.
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 0.5 tablespoon olive oil
  • 0.5 cup Frank's Red Hot Wing Sauce Adjust for spice preference.
  • 0.5 teaspoon celery seed
  • Fresh pepper to taste
  • 0.5 cup thinly sliced celery
  • Blue cheese crumbles Add to taste.
  • Ranch dressing Add to taste.
  • 2 heads lettuce (romaine or iceberg, rinsed and patted dry) Use for wrapping.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large pan, cook and shred your chicken on medium/high heat with 0.5 cup of water, shredding with two forks as it cooks until all the water has evaporated.
  2. Keep the pan on medium/low heat and add butter and olive oil, stirring until melted and combined.
  3. Pour in the hot sauce and add celery seed, then sprinkle in fresh pepper to taste.
  4. Remove from heat and stir in the thinly sliced celery.
Assembly
  1. Scoop a spoonful of the chicken mixture into the lettuce leaves.
  2. Sprinkle with blue cheese crumbles and drizzle with ranch dressing.
  3. Serve immediately while the chicken is still warm.

Notes

Store leftover chicken mixture in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Best if lettuce is stored separately to prevent wilting.
