FOOTBALL?!?!
Football Sunday!! It's one of my favorite days of the week! But this season, chips and queso won't cut it on my new meal plan. The good news is, it's still possible to have the football food we love!
Tonight we're having these Slow Cooker Buffalo Chicken Lettuce Wraps!
INGREDIENTS:
For the Chicken:
24 oz boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 celery stalk
1/2 onion, diced
1 clove garlic
16 oz fat free low sodium chicken broth
1/2 cup hot cayenne pepper sauce (We use Frank's)
For the Wraps:
6 large lettuce leaves, Bibb or Iceberg
1 1/2 cups shredded carrots
2 large celery stalks, cut into 2 inch matchsticks
DRESSING: We like to mix 8 oz of nonfat Greek Yogurt with a bit of dried parsley, dill, garlic powder, onion powder, and dried chives. It makes the yogurt taste just like ranch!
Directions:
In a crock pot, combine chicken, onions, celery stalk, garlic and broth (enough to cover your chicken, use water if the can of broth isn't enough). Cover and cook on high 4 hours or low for 6-8 hours.
Remove the chicken from pot, reserve 1/2 cup broth and discard the rest. Shred the chicken with two forks, return to the slow cooker with the 1/2 cup broth and the hot sauce and set to on high for an additional 30 minutes. Makes 3 cups chicken.
To prepare lettuce cups, place buffalo chicken in each leaf, top with shredded carrots, celery and a drizzle of dressing (optional). Wrap up and start eating! (Serving size is 1/2 cup of shredded chicken per person.)
