Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large chicken breasts (cooked and shredded)
- 2 tablespoons butter
- ½ tablespoon olive oil
- ½ cup Frank’s Red Hot Wing Sauce
- ½ teaspoon celery seed
- Fresh pepper to taste
- ½ cup thinly sliced celery
- Blue cheese crumbles
- Ranch dressing
- 2 heads of lettuce (romaine or iceberg, rinsed and patted dry)
Instructions
- Cook the Chicken: In a large pan, add chicken breasts and pour in ½ cup of water. Cook over medium/high heat, using two forks to shred the chicken as it cooks. Continue until the water has evaporated and the chicken is fully cooked.

- Add Celery: Remove the pan from heat and stir in the thinly sliced celery for an added crunch.
- Assemble Wraps: Scoop a spoonful of the chicken mixture into the lettuce leaves. Top with blue cheese crumbles and a drizzle of ranch dressing.
- Serve: Enjoy these wraps immediately while the chicken is still warm.
