Buffalo Chicken Lettuce Wraps

Posted on January 24, 2015

I was searching for recipes to make for the Super Bowl and came across this amazing twist on Buffalo Wings. It’s a little healthier than the typical ‘chicken wing’ and it’s got that same crispy, wonderful flavor.

1. Preheat the oven to 375º F.
2. Line a baking pan with parchment paper.
3. Marinate the chicken in a container with the 1/2 cup Buffalo sauce, cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
4. Pour the Panko breadcrumbs into a shallow dish.
5. Coat the chicken pieces evenly with the Panko and place them in the baking pan.
6. Bake the chicken for 30 minutes.
7. To assemble the wraps, fill each leaf of lettuce with the rice, chicken and top with black olives. Drizzle the Bleu Cheese dressing over the chicken. And then add the scallions.

These lettuce wraps are fantastic for either lunch or dinner. Feel free to experiment with toppings. I saw one recipe that included avocados and another that added celery. So try some other options as well as the ones above and enjoy these fabulous lettuce wraps. I will be adding this to my regular rotation of meals, they were that good!
