All the Flavor...None of the Fat (Just in Time for the Superbowl)!

I love celebrating Superbowl Sunday and few celebrations are complete without good food.  At least not this one!  But just because it's tailgate time doesn't mean your commitment to eat better needs to get sacked.  So how can you enjoy one of football's finest finger foods without destroying your diet?  Slow cooker - buffalo chicken lettuce wraps!

Ingredients: (makes 4-6 servings)

For the chicken:

• 24 oz boneless skinless chicken breast
• 1 celery stalk
• 1/2 onion, diced
• 1 clove garlic
• 16 oz fat free low sodium chicken broth
• 1/2 cup hot cayenne pepper sauce (I use Trader Joe's)

For the wraps:

• 6 large lettuce leaves, Bibb or Iceberg
• 1 1/2 cups shredded carrots
• 1 container crumbled blue cheese

Directions:

In a crock pot, combine chicken, onions, celery stalk, garlic and broth (enough to cover your chicken, use water if the can of broth isn't enough). Cover and cook on high 4 hours.

Remove the chicken from pot, keep 1/2 cup broth and discard the rest. Shred the chicken with two forks, return to the slow cooker with the 1/2 cup broth and the pepper sauce and set to on high for an additional 15-20 minutes (until hot).

To prepare lettuce wraps, place 1/2 cup buffalo chicken in each leaf, top with shredded carrots and crumbled blue cheese. Wrap up and start eating!

Bon Appetit!
