Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups shredded cooked chicken
  • 1/3 cup buffalo sauce like Frank's RedHot
  • 1 tablespoon butter, melted
  • 1 head butter lettuce, leaves separated
  • 1/4 cup ranch or blue cheese dressing
  • 1/4 cup diced celery
  • 2 tablespoons crumbled blue cheese
  • 2 tablespoons chopped chives

Method
 

  1. Toss. Combine shredded chicken with buffalo sauce and melted butter in a bowl. Mix until every piece is coated.
  2. Warm. Heat the buffalo chicken in a skillet over medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes until warmed through and the sauce is slightly thickened.
  3. Fill. Spoon the buffalo chicken into butter lettuce cups. Top with diced celery, crumbled blue cheese, and a drizzle of ranch dressing.
  4. Serve. Finish with chopped chives and eat right away while the chicken is still warm.

Notes

Butter lettuce makes the best cups because the leaves are flexible and don't crack. Rotisserie chicken is the fastest shortcut here. Just shred it with two forks. Warm the chicken in the sauce so it absorbs more flavor.
