Buffalo Chicken Lettuce Wraps in the Crock Pot

Buffalo Chicken Lettuce Wraps in the Crock Pot
Buffalo chicken is one of my favorite things. Unfortunately, I like it when it's presented in deep fried, skin on, chicken wing form! This recipe is not only easy, it is much healthier than my buffalo chicken wing obsession.

Buffalo Chicken Lettuce Wraps

Ingredients
1) 3 lbs. boneless, skinless, chicken breast
2) 1/2 small onion
3) 1 celery stalk
4) 1 clove garlic
5) 16 ounces chicken broth (low sodium if possible)
6) 1/2 cup cayenne pepper sauce (Something like Frank's - check the ingredients. There should not be sugar in it)
7) lettuce leaves (bibb or iceberg)

Directions
1) Cut celery stalk into 2 inch pieces
2) Dice onion and garlic
3) Place chicken, onions, celery, garlic and broth in crock pot - The broth should cover your chicken. if it isn't enough, add water until meat is covered.
4) Cook on low for 7 hours


5) Remove chicken from pot
6) Measure out 1/2 cup of the liquid from the pot and dispose of the rest
7) Shred chicken with two forks

8) Place shredded chicken, broth and hot sauce back in the crock pot.
9) Cook for another 30 minutes on high

10) Fill lettuce leaves with shredded chicken
11) ENJOY

If you want to get a little fancy, you can add shredded carrots and celery on top of the chicken!!
