BUFFALO CHICKEN SALAD LETTUCE CUPS
2 cups (340g) of cooked chicken breast (I use rotisserie or slow cooker shredded chicken), chopped or shredded
1/2 cup celery, diced
1/2 cup onion, diced
1/3 cup carrot, diced
1/4 cup low-fat Greek yogurt
1 tablespoon mayonnaise
2 tablespoons buffalo hot sauce (I like Primal Kitchen)
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
8-10 butter lettuce cups
blue cheese dressing, extra hot sauce, optional toppings
Instructions

In a medium bowl, combine the chicken, onion, celery, carrots, Greek yogurt, mayo, hot sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.

Spoon into lettuce cups. If desired, top with an extra drizzle of hot sauce and blue cheese dressing. Enjoy!

Any leftover salad can be stored in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 4 days. Give it a good stir before serving again.
