crock pot buffalo chicken lettuce wraps

servings: 6
serving size:  1/2 c. chicken

ingredients:

for the chicken:

24 oz. boneless skinless chicken breast
1 celery stalk
1/2 onion, diced
1 clove garlic
16 oz. fat free low sodium chicken broth
1/2 c. hot cayenne pepper sauce (frank's is recommended)

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

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

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 hot sauce and set on high for an additional 30 minutes.  makes 3 cups chicken.

to prepare lettuce cups, place 1/2 cup buffalo chicken in each leaf, top with 1/4 cup shredded carrots, celery and dressing of your choice.  (i like blue cheese.)  wrap up and start eating.
