Slow Cooker Buffalo Chicken Lettuce Wraps

I laughed when my husband went crazy over these lettuce wraps. I mean should I tell him that they literally took me like 5 minutes of hands on time and only 4 ingredients? Well, I guess he doesn’t need to know. Because these lettuce wraps are so easy and so light they make a perfect summer supper. After I had eaten them I realized it would have been super fun to add in chopped celery with the chicken for a little more crunch…kind of like what water chestnuts do with asian lettuce wraps. Next time I’ll try that out. I used a mild buffalo sauce allowing for lots of flavor but not too much heat for me or the kids (we’re a bit wimpy).

What Slow Cooker Did You Use?

To make Instant Pot Buffalo Chicken Lettuce Wraps  I used my small 3 quart slow cooker. I love this little slow cooker because it’s super cute and it’s just the perfect size for side dishes, drinks or small meals. It fits into my sink so I can easily handwash it and it fits in the bottom or top of my dishwasher so I can easily stick it in there to get clean. I try to use this 3 quart slow cooker any time I can!

Description

Shredded chicken coated with buffalo sauce and topped with blue cheese crumbles is wrapped up in crisp lettuce leaves. You can make these flavorful lettuce wraps with just 4 ingredients!


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 1/2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs, trimmed of excess fat
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/2 cup buffalo sauce (I used mild)
  • Optional: 1/2 cup chopped celery
  • 1/4 cup blue cheese crumbles
  • Lettuce leaves, washed (I used romaine but you can use iceberg, if you prefer)

Instructions

  1. Place chicken and water in the slow cooker. Cover and cook on low for 4-6 hours. If the chicken is frozen, cook on low for 6-8 hours.
  2. Drain and discard the water. Shred the chicken and pour in the buffalo sauce. Stir in the celery, if desired.
  3. Spoon about 1/3 cup of the chicken down the middle of a lettuce leaf. Top with 1 Tbsp of blue cheese crumbles. Wrap up and eat immediately.

Notes

 I used my small 3 quart slow cooker.
