I’ll be honest — I used to think lettuce wraps couldn’t possibly be filling enough for dinner. Then I tried this spicy, tangy, melt-in-your-mouth Buffalo Chicken version and… game changer.

These Crockpot Buffalo Chicken Lettuce Wraps are everything you want in a meal: juicy shredded chicken, bold flavor, cool crisp lettuce, and creamy toppings that balance the heat. It’s one of those "set-it-and-forget-it" dinners that’s healthy, simple, and totally customizable.

Great for meal prep, game day, or when you want something fun and satisfying without the guilt.

Ingredients (serves 4–6):

For the Chicken:

• 1.5–2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts

• 1/2 cup buffalo sauce (like Frank’s RedHot)

• 2 tbsp melted butter or ghee

• 1/2 tsp garlic powder

• 1/4 tsp onion powder

• Salt and pepper to taste

For Serving:

• Butter lettuce, iceberg, or romaine leaves

• Diced celery

• Shredded carrots

• Blue cheese or ranch dressing

• Crumbled blue cheese (optional)

• Sliced green onions

Instructions:

1. Add to slow cooker: Place chicken breasts in your crockpot. In a small bowl, whisk together buffalo sauce, melted butter, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Pour over chicken.

2. Cook: Cover and cook on LOW for 4–5 hours or HIGH for 2.5–3 hours, until the chicken is tender and easy to shred.

3. Shred & toss: Remove chicken and shred with two forks. Return to crockpot and toss in the sauce.

4. Assemble wraps: Spoon buffalo chicken into lettuce leaves. Top with celery, carrots, dressing, and any extras you like. Serve immediately.

Sarah’s Tips & Swaps:

• Make it dairy-free: Use vegan butter and a dairy-free ranch or avocado drizzle.

• Want it crispier? Broil the shredded chicken on a baking sheet for 5 minutes before serving.

• Mild version: Use a mix of buffalo and BBQ sauce to tone down the spice for kids.

• Meal prep tip: Store chicken and toppings separately. Assemble wraps just before eating.

Flavorful Conclusion:

These Buffalo Chicken Lettuce Wraps are spicy, fresh, and super satisfying — a lighter spin on a game day favorite that’s still full of bold flavor. Whether you’re feeding a crowd or just craving something fun and fuss-free, these wraps are a winner.
