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!
