Buffalo Chicken Skillet

Buffalo Chicken Lettuce Wraps and Buffalo Chicken Salad

This one-pan skillet is so easy and delicious! It can be thrown together in about 20 minutes from start to finish, and you can please everyone by serving it either as a wrap or over romaine.

Note: it can also be served as a buffalo chicken taco with shredded romaine in a grain free tortilla, or top a paleo pizza crust with it and make some buffalo chicken pizza!

Ingredients:

• 1 pound ground chicken
• 1/2 c hot sauce
• 2 tbs grass-fed butter or ghee (or coconut oil)
• 1 large carrot, shredded (I used a vegetable peeler) *or about 1 c store-bought shredded carrots
• 3 celery stalks, chopped
• salt and pepper, to taste
• crumbled blue cheese, optional
• 1 head romaine, washed (keep leaves whole for wraps or chop the leaves for a salad)

Directions:

1. melt butter in a large pan and add celery and carrots
2. saute celery and carrots in butter            
3. add chicken to the pan and brown it (break up the ground chicken to bite sized pieces)
4. add hot sauce, salt, and pepper and stir all together
5. simmer chicken in sauce until it is completely cooked, mixing occasionally
6. scoop chicken into lettuce wraps or serve over chopped romaine
7. top with crumbled blue cheese, optional
