• 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
• 1/4 cup hot sauce
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp onion powder
• to taste sea salt
• to taste black pepper
• 1 head romaine lettuce
• 1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

Method

1. Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces.
2. Heat the olive oil in a pan over medium heat.
3. Add the chicken pieces, season with salt and pepper, and cook until golden and cooked through.
4. In a small saucepan, melt the butter, then stir in the hot sauce, garlic powder, and onion powder.
5. Toss the cooked chicken in the buffalo sauce until well coated.
6. Separate large leaves from the romaine head to use as wraps.
7. Fill each lettuce leaf with the buffalo chicken mixture.
