Low carb buffalo chicken lettuce wrap
This a great recipe to serve for a game-day party or any time you might normally think of serving wings. Some people might opt to wrap it in a tortilla, or even load it onto a French roll for a Buffalo wing sandwich, but I love the refreshing crunch of lettuce leaves with the spicy richness of the dish.

Combining it with ground chicken makes it into a great lettuce wrap filling, plus it cuts down on both prep and cooking time. Get the recipe here.
