Ingredients
  

2 cups shredded cooked chicken (rotisserie chicken is perfect for convenience)

½ cup Buffalo sauce (adjust amount based on your heat preference)

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 cup shredded carrots

½ cup diced celery

¼ cup diced green onions (scallions)

1 cup crumbled blue cheese (optional, for those who love a tangy contrast)

1 head of butter lettuce or romaine lettuce (leaves separated for wrapping)

Fresh cilantro leaves for garnish (optional, adds a burst of freshness)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Buffalo Chicken Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken and Buffalo sauce. Then, add the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix thoroughly using a fork or spoon until the chicken is fully coated in the spicy sauce.

    Sauté the Vegetables: Heat a medium skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the shredded carrots and diced celery. Sauté these for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they soften slightly. This step will enhance their flavor and create a delightful texture.

      Combine Everything: Remove the skillet from heat and add the sautéed vegetables to the Buffalo chicken mixture. Toss in the diced green onions and stir until all ingredients are evenly incorporated. If you're using blue cheese, gently fold it into the mixture now, saving a bit for garnish later.

        Assemble the Wraps: Take a leaf of lettuce and spoon a generous amount of the Buffalo chicken mixture onto the center of the leaf. For an extra treat, sprinkle additional blue cheese on top and add fresh cilantro for a touch of brightness.

          Serve and Enjoy: Arrange the filled lettuce wraps on a serving platter, presenting them attractively for your guests. Offer extra Buffalo sauce on the side for those who enjoy a bit more heat, and serve immediately for the best experience!
