Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken breasts: Look for boneless, skinless chicken breasts that are about 1 pound each. This will ensure that they cook evenly in the slow cooker.
  • Use a good quality buffalo sauce: The buffalo sauce is the key to the flavor of this dish, so make sure to use a good quality one. Look for a sauce that is made with real cayenne pepper and has a good amount of heat.
  • Don't overcook the chicken: Chicken breasts can easily become dry and overcooked in the slow cooker, so it's important to cook them on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours.
  • Shred the chicken: Once the chicken is cooked, shred it with two forks. This will make it easier to eat in the lettuce wraps.
  • Assemble the lettuce wraps: Place a spoonful of shredded chicken, some shredded carrots, celery, and blue cheese crumbles on a lettuce leaf. Drizzle with ranch dressing and wrap it up.

Conclusion:

Slow cooker buffalo chicken lettuce wraps are a delicious and easy appetizer or meal. They are perfect for a party or potluck, and they can be made ahead of time. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can enjoy this flavorful and satisfying dish.
