This recipe will be on repeat ALL summer long! It's the perfect meal for a blazing hot day.
I like to prep the shredded chicken in advance. This way, all I have to do the day of is toss with buffalo sauce and assemble.
If you want to make your life even easier, you can use rotisserie chicken for this recipe. Though, it's honestly so simple to make your own shredded chicken. I linked my recipe HERE. I cook the chicken breast and then throw it in a mixer to shred. No way I'm shredding the chicken with a fork!

How do you prepare lettuce for wraps?
First, choose from butter lettuce, romaine lettuce or iceburg lettuce. These work best when making wraps since each leaf has a dome-like shape. Butter lettuce is my personal favorite.
Gently, rip each leaf off of the head of lettuce. You can cut off any of the bitter ends. Thoroughly wash the leaves and allow them to dry completely on paper towels. Then, begin to assemble.

Made these lettuce cups last night for dinner. They were absolutely amazing. My husband is trying to eat less carbs so this worked perfectly. Adding to our weekly rotation.
Perfect! 🙂
