Yum. This is the perfect dinner to make when you want some super unhealthy wings slathered in dressing! It's also gluten free - so if you're trying to stay away from bread, it's a tasty, easy option.
Here's what you'll need:
^ 2 chicken breasts
^ Buffalo wing sauce
^ Lettuce {Romaine or Butter}
^ Ranch or Blue cheese dressing {I use ranch dressing because Pat hates blue cheese, so I forgo that on his and add it on mine :) }
^ Broccoli slaw {for crunch}
^ Blue cheese crumbles
I cooked the chicken in my crockpot because I had time today, but you could just as easily use a pressure cooker. I put 1 cup water in with the frozen chicken breasts and some salt, pepper and buffalo wing sauce. I kept the seasoning simple because the wing sauce has enough flavor and would overpower everything anyways. I cooked the chicken on high for about 5 hours. When the chicken was shredded and I was ready to serve dinner, I drained the rest of the liquid using a strainer, put the chicken back in the crock pot and then added more wing sauce. When all was said and done, I used about half the bottle.
Next comes the assembly - lettuce leaves, a spoonful of buffalo chicken, the broccoli slaw {which gives it an awesome crunch and adds a few veggies to our diets} a little ranch dressing and then bleu cheese crumbles.
Note: It's a messy affair to eat as a wrap - Pat made a big 'ol mess, so I opted to cut it up like a salad and it was equally as delicious!

An Easy Weeknight Recipe
After this past week in DC hitting the mid 80's (which I love! reminds me of Florida) the last thing I wanted to do when I got home is make a hot dinner. Enter lettuce wraps. This is one of my go to recipes in the summer time and takes about 20 minutes to make which equals the perfect weeknight meal.
Ingredients:
^Butter/Boston bib lettuce
^Cabbage (I mix mine with a little spicy ranch style dressing)
^Cucumber mango salsa (super easy, I just use cucumber, mango, red onion, lime juice and cilantro)
^Grilled chicken
^Avocado
^ Optional: white wine (I love: Kim Crawford Sauvignon Blanc)
It's pretty much an assemble as you go like tacos and the best part is that it's gluten free!
