Equipment Needed

Instructions
- 1
In a slow cooker, mix together the chicken, onions, celery stalk, garlic, and enough broth to fully submerge the chicken. If your broth isn’t sufficient, feel free to add water to make up the difference.

Put the lid on and cook on the high setting for 4 hours.

Once done, take the chicken out of the cooker, setting aside 1/2 cup of the broth and discarding the remainder.

Using two forks, shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces. Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker along with the reserved 1/4 to 1/2 cup of broth and the hot sauce. Continue cooking on high for another 30 minutes. This will yield about 3 cups of chicken.

For assembling the lettuce wraps, take a lettuce leaf and fill it with 1/2 cup of the buffalo chicken. Add 1/4 cup of shredded carrots, some celery, and your preferred dressing on top. Wrap it up and enjoy!

In the Instant Pot, combine the chicken, onions, celery stalk, garlic, and broth (enough to cover the chicken; add water if necessary). Seal the lid and cook under high pressure for 15 minutes. Allow for a natural release afterward.

After cooking, remove the chicken from the pot, reserving 1/2 cup of the broth and discarding the rest. Shred the chicken using two forks, then return it to the pot with the reserved broth (1/4 to 1/2 cup) and the hot sauce. Sauté for 2 to 3 minutes to combine.

To create the lettuce cups, place 1/2 cup of the buffalo chicken mixture into each leaf, then top with 1/4 cup of shredded carrots, celery, and your dressing of choice. Wrap them up and dig in!
