Buffalo Chicken Lettuce Wraps

I love buffalo chicken everything, but eating this Lighter Buffalo Chicken Dip (although light and delicious) isn’t something I should be indulging in every day. #wishfulthinking

I took that same delicious flavour and turn did into a lighter delicious meal perfect for lunch. The best part? Cooking this at the beginning of the week gives you amazing buffalo chicken perfect to use in wraps, nachos, quesadillas, on top of salads… whatever for the rest of the week! Can you say awesome meal prep?! There are about 10 servings of shredded chicken in total (4 of which you will use for the Lettuce Wraps), to help you keep track of your SmartPoints if you’re following Weight Watchers, 1/4cup of shredded chicken = 1 SmartPoint. YUP! That’s right!

This really has a kick so maybe it’s not great for kids or those who who doesn’t like spicy, but it was a HUGE hit here with Clint and I!

  1. I still have yet to make some sort of lettuce wrap but I’m determined to this summer. Love how delicious and easy this recipe is. It really makes me wish I had some right now!

  2. Lettuce wraps have become our new favourite midweek meal. I don’t know how, but I’ve managed to get my fiance to like them and not snack afterwards! I love the buffalo chicken flavour but I haven’t tried it yet, so I’m putting it on the list!

  3. Sounds wonderful! We love the dip too but of course, don’t make it often. This is a great dinner idea for a light summer meal!

  4. This is perfect. My Stew has just embarked on a low-carb diet.
    We are in week 2 and I don’t have that many ideas, as I am a a carb girl!

    But this looks perfect. I bet you wouldn’t miss the wraps with all those wonderful flavours!
