Ingredients for Buffalo Chicken Lettuce Wraps

Here’s a quick overview of what you’ll need for this recipe. For exact measurements, keep scrolling down to the printable recipe card.

• Ground chicken – You can often find ground chicken on sale, so this can be an excellent inexpensive meal! The texture keeps buffalo chicken salad nice and juicy instead of dried out. Feel free to swap with ground turkey if you prefer.
• Celery, Carrots – These pair perfectly with the ranch and buffalo sauce! This also helps stretch the chicken further, makes the dish more filling, and adds loads of nutrients to the meal.
• Hidden Valley Ranch seasoning packet – Such an easy way of seasoning! It also has thickening ingredients that help keep the sauce creamy and rich. Feel free to use a store brand version if you like that better.
• Chicken broth or water, Cream cheese, Buffalo sauce – These create a deliciously flavorful sauce! Homemade chicken stock adds more flavor than water, but water will work in a pinch. Softened, room temperature cream cheese melts into a smoother consistency, so remember to take it out of the fridge ahead of time.
• Bleu cheese crumbles – The perfect cheese to pair with buffalo sauce! The tangy flavor cuts through the sauce and works well with the ranch seasoning, too.
• Butter lettuce – This is a natural choice for lettuce cups because they already form the perfect size cup for filling! There’s a good crunch and mild flavor that goes with everything as well.
• Optional garnish: Green onions, celery, shredded carrots, additional ranch dressing

How to Make Buffalo Chicken Lettuce Wraps

These easy chicken lettuce wraps are simple to throw together. Here’s a step-by-step guide for making this chicken meal prep recipe.

Brown the chicken & sauté veggies

Heat a large, greased skillet to medium heat. Brown the ground chicken, breaking it up into bite-sized pieces as it cooks. Drain off any grease, then add in the celery and carrots. Sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes.

Season & simmer

Add the ranch seasoning packet to the skillet and stir in the broth or water. Continue stirring until seasonings are well incorporated. Cook for 4-5 minutes while the liquid evaporates, stirring occasionally to prevent things from sticking.

Add creamy sauce

In a small bowl, combine the room temperature cream cheese and buffalo sauce, stirring until smooth. If it’s difficult to stir out the clumps, microwave in 15-second increments to help soften and smooth it out. Pour this buffalo sauce mixture into the skillet and toss to coat. Spoon into lettuce wraps and top with bleu cheese as well as green onions, shredded carrots, and extra ranch.

Serve

These tasty Buffalo Chicken Lettuce Wraps are great with crunchy keto chips (or these Ranch Zucchini Chips to add a little more nutrition). Sides you can eat with your hands always win when pairing with lettuce wraps… Think Keto Fries, Crispy Green Bean Fries, or Baked Zucchini Fries for easy low-carb recipes you can dip. If you like ranch but want more spice, try this Jalapeno Ranch Dip instead!

More great low-carb sides you could pair with lettuce wraps:

• Zucchini Fritters
• Keto Jalapeno Poppers
• Air Fryer Keto Mozzarella Sticks
• Grilled Zucchini Mozzarella Wraps

Storing & Reheating

This recipe is best stored in the fridge in an airtight container WITHOUT the lettuce wraps. When kept separate, the buffalo chicken filling can last up to 4 days. If you store them together, the moisture in the filling will ruin the lettuce wraps within a day. To keep lettuce fresh, store with a few paper towels to soak up moisture that could wilt the leaves.

To reheat, transfer the chicken filling to a microwave-safe dish and heat on 50% power for 45-60 second increments, stirring between each blast. This helps ensure the center gets hot without overheating the cream cheese mixture. If you don’t have a microwave, simply transfer back to the skillet and heat (covered with lid) on low, stirring occasionally.

Can you freeze lettuce wraps?

The crisp butter lettuce leaves cannot survive the freezing and defrosting process, so it’s not recommended to freeze these. However, you could freeze the chicken filling. Simply scoop into a freezer-safe container and enjoy within 3 months for the best flavor and texture. When ready to eat, thaw overnight in the fridge and give a good stir before reheating. Sometimes the texture of cream cheese can change a bit after freezing/thawing, so make sure to stir well.

Buffalo Chicken has become a very popular flavor combo for many of us over the last few years. That tangy flavor combined with a little heat is heavenly. There are numerous ways to prepare it. However, I challenge you to find a more quick, convenient way to prepare it without sacrificing flavor. These foil packs take a few simple ingredients and create a delicious, complete meal. Even better, nearly zero cleanup will be required when you finish your meal! This is a really great summer recipe to prepare on the grill, but I will let you in on a little secret. Put a few of these packets together prior to your next camping trip and cook them over a campfire with family or friends. You won’t regret it!

What You Will Love About this Recipe

• Minimal prep needed. Prep for this meal only requires a few simple steps and only takes a couple of minutes.
• Little clean up required. Since nearly every step of prep and cooking takes place on the foil, there is minimal clean up required.
• Incredible flavor and texture. These foil packs utilize an incredibly simple and easy cooking method to provide that amazing buffalo chicken flavor!

Ingredients for Buffalo Chicken Foil Packs

• Boneless skinless chicken breasts: Boneless chicken thighs would also work if you prefer dark meat.
• Vegetables: for this recipe I use bell peppers, cauliflower florets and green onions for the best flavor combination.
• Cooking oil: This is for heat transfer, flavor, browning ingredients and to avoid sticking. Any neutral oil will work. We prefer olive oil or avocado oil.
• Buffalo sauce: The key component to “buffalo” chicken. It adds an amazing tangy, spicy flavor
• Blue cheese or a drizzle of ranch (optional): Helps create the perfect flavor and texture
• Spices: salt, smoked paprika, garlic powder, dry parsley, onion powder, black pepper

How to Make Buffalo Chicken Foil Packs

In addition to the ingredients listed above you will need a cutting board, aluminum foil, and a knife. To make the best Buffalo Chicken Foil Packs follow the instructions below:

Prep

Heat the grill to medium-high heat. Lay out 4 large pieces of aluminum foil on your counter or work surface. In a small bowl, combine the seasoning ingredients and set aside. 

Add Ingredients to the Foil Packs

Divide the 4 chicken breasts, bell peppers, and cauliflower equally between the 4 pieces of aluminum foil, placing them in the center. Drizzle the oil over the chicken breasts and vegetables. Then sprinkle the seasoning (about 1 ½ tsp per packet) evenly over the 4 foil packets as well. Add 1 tbsp of the buffalo sauce to each foil packet, spreading it over the chicken. Sprinkle with the green onions.

Cook

Fold the foil packets by bringing 2 sides together and folding them over, then closing the ends. Be sure to leave enough room for the air to circulate. Grill the packets for 30-35 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees. 

Serve

Open the foil packets and add 1 tbsp of the remaining buffalo sauce to each packet, drizzling it over everything. Sprinkle with bleu cheese crumbles or drizzle with ranch dressing! Foil packs are best when served immediately after they have finished cooking. Be very careful handing the foil packs as they will be hot. Remember, the packet will be full of steam so use tongs or heat resistant gloves when opening, and be very careful to avoid a burn.

Storage and Reheating Instructions

• Refrigerator-You can store this recipe in an airtight container for up to 3 days. For the best reheating results, drain off any excess moisture to prevent a soggy dish.
• Freezer– We don’t recommend freezing this recipe.
• Reheating-To reheat a whole foil pack add the pack to a preheated air fryer and cook at 350 degrees for 5 minutes or until warmed. Alternatively, you can add the ingredients to a microwave-safe plate and warm in 30-second increments until done.

Tips and Tricks for the Best Buffalo Chicken Foil Pack

• Make sure to use heavy-duty aluminum foil, it doesn’t tear or rip as easily making it easier to use for foil packets.
• To ensure ingredients cook evenly, be sure to leave enough room for the air to circulate in the foil packs.
• Customize based on your personal preferences. Broccoli could be substituted for the cauliflower. If you are not worried about the recipe being keto friendly, you could add black beans and/or canned corn.

• Minced garlic, butter, cream cheese

How do I make this Slow Cooker Chicken?

You won’t believe how simple this meal is. It comes together in only 2 easy steps!

1. Spray your slow cooker with cooking spray, or use a liner. Add your chicken to the crock pot and sprinkle with Ranch seasoning. Add your buffalo sauce, vinegar and minced garlic to the top of the chicken. Top with butter and cream cheese.
2. Cook on low for 6 hours. Shred the chicken and toss back in the buffalo wing sauce in the slow cooker.(*Optional-garnish with some cheddar cheese and blue cheese crumbles prior to serving)

What should I serve with shredded Buffalo Chicken?

This meal is fantastic as a topping to a salad or served in a lettuce wrap. We also like to serve as a buffalo chicken dip with celery sticks and ranch dressing.

Tips for this Slow Cooker Buffalo Chicken

• I recommend cubing the cream cheese versus adding it as a block. It will melt more evenly and be easier to spread in the sauce.
• If you have family members that are more sensitive to spice than others, you can prepare this chicken with a smaller amount of buffalo sauce. When those who want more of a kick to their meal are ready to eat, they can top theirs with extra sauce!
• I personally prefer cooking this chicken on low and letting it slowly cook all day. If you are short on time, you could cook this meal on high for 4 hours.

This Crockpot Buffalo Chicken was made for keto meal prep! Simply prepare ahead of time and store in your favorite meal prep containers. Pack with Ham and Cheese Pinwheels, Keto Lunch Skewers or Keto Chicken Salad for extra protein. Add Air Fryer Broccoli, Crispy Zucchini Chips or Air Fryer Green Beans for a serving of vegetables.

These low-carb keto muffins loaded with cheesy buffalo chicken and ranch are so tasty, and outrageously easy to make. At just 2 net carbs each, these bite-sized explosions of flavor are the perfect way to satisfy those fast food cravings whilst still reaping the rewards of a keto diet!

Keto Buffalo Muffins are super versatile, making them the ideal quick snack, appetizer or lunchbox staple. Even better, with their fat head dough base these gorgeous baked muffins are completely gluten-free. 

Ingredients Needed for Keto Buffalo Chicken Muffins

• Mozzarella cheese
• Cream cheese
• Almond flour
• Ground flax meal (if you do not have this you can use additional almond flour in its place)
• Shredded chicken
• Ranch dressing
• Cheddar cheese
• Buffalo sauce

How to Make Keto Buffalo Chicken Muffins

This recipe is super easy. It is comprised of three easy steps, preparing the keto crust recipe, making the buffalo chicken filling and lastly, assembling the muffins and baking. 

1. To prepare the dough you combine the melted mozzarella and cream cheese with the almond flour and ground flax meal until a soft dough forms. Just roll the dough out and use a biscuit cutter or the top of a mason jar to cut your circles. Press the circles into the muffin tin. 
2. In another bowl combine the cooked, shredded chicken, cream cheese, ranch and buffalo sauce. 
3. Spoon the  buffalo chicken mixture into each cup and top with shredded cheddar cheese. Bake 15-18 minutes until gold and bubbly!

What is fat head dough?

Fat head dough is a low carb, but equally delicious, alternative crust comprised of mozzarella cheese, cream cheese and almond flour. Some versions have eggs, mine does not, but I do add ground flax seed to make the dough more pliable and increase the fiber content. However, if you do not have ground flax seed, simply substitute additional almond flour in its place. 

Are these good for meal prep?

Keto Buffalo Chicken Muffins can be enjoyed hot or cold, and their bite-sized shape and easy storage make them the perfect option for meal prep! Packed with creamy mozzarella, protein-rich chicken and cool ranch, they are the ideal satisfying office lunch to eat whilst out and about.

Simply cook them up, and allow to cool completely, before packing them up in your lunchbox alongside some other easy keto goodies (and some extra ranch for dipping purposes, of course!)

Pair these muffins with celery sticks for a complete meal. Or for something different, this Keto Asparagus, Avocado and Tomato Salad would make the perfect accompaniment for a hassle-free lunch that will keep you full all day long.

How do you reheat?

If you’d like to reheat your Keto Buffalo Chicken Muffins, simply stick them in the microwave in 30 second increments until they are heated all the way through.
