These Buffalo Chicken Lettuce Wraps have a lot going for them!

Delicious, nutritious and super easy is hard to beat. Even the Low Carb Blue Cheese Dressing comes together in a snap. Stir it up ahead of time and then toss just 4 ingredients into a crock pot and come home to a healthy, home cooked meal that your family will love!

Cook this one in the Instant Pot and on the poultry setting and it’ll be done in NO TIME!

You’ll need a good bottled low carb ranch dressing for this dish. I’m told that they just need to be less than 2 net carbs per serving. So Bolthouse and Ken’s both are on plan for Trim Healthy Mama and are low carb.

Buffalo Chicken Lettuce Wraps

This Low Carb Blue Cheese Dressing is a big hit around here and I think it will be for your blue cheese lovers too!

You wouldn’t think this recipe would make a lot of liquid in the slow cooker but it does. I made it once and was so delighted with all the yummy juices that I returned the shredded chicken to the crockpot with all the juices and melted some cream cheese in and we ate it like a crockpot casserole. SO Good!

Low Carb Blue Cheese Dressing

Ingredients

  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 3/4 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 teaspoon crushed garlic
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon mineral salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon super sweet or pyure or 1/2 tsp Gentle Sweet
  • 1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 4 ounces blue cheese, grated

Instructions

  1. Place mayonnaise, sour cream, and water in a bowl.
  2. Add garlic, black pepper, dry mustard, sweetener, cayenne, and Worcestershire sauce.
  3. Whisk together thoroughly.
  4. Mix grated blue cheese* into the cream base a little at a time to ensure it is evenly incorporated and doesn't clump.
  5. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 3 hours (preferably overnight) to consolidate the flavors.*

Notes

*Making the dressing ahead of time isn't absolutely necessary it's good right away but will be even better once the flavors "marry".

*I have used the pregrated blue cheese dressing and it works well but tends to move to the bottom of the jar so be sure and give it a stir before serving each time.

*If you can purchase a block of blue cheese and freeze it ahead of time then grate it fresh it tends to incorporate a little better into the dressing in my experience. No matter what this stuff is GOOD!
