If you need to cook the chicken in the slow cooker, cover it with water 4 hours on low then shred. Use a rotisserie chicken breast or even canned chicken works here.
In a mini chopper, chop all the veggies, then add the chicken and pulse a few times.
Transfer to a bowl and mix with the mayo and hot sauce, adding more to taste.
To serve, spoon into lettuce wraps and garnish with red onion, celery leaves and more hot sauce.
Store in an airtight container up to 4 days. Keep lettuce separate until serving to prevent sogginess; assemble wraps fresh or eat as-is with a fork.
Yes. The recipe calls for 6.5 ounces cooked chicken, which can be canned (drained) or from a cooked breast. Canned saves time and works equally well.
Frank's is mild-medium heat. You can increase beyond 1/4 cup for more spice, but add gradually and taste as you go—too much sauce makes it soggy.
Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days. Keep lettuce leaves separate until serving to prevent sogginess, or serve in wraps for grab-and-go meals.
Replace mayo with dairy-free mayo (same amount) and skip the blue cheese dressing, or use a dairy-free ranch alternative.
Dice finely for a uniform, creamy salad; leave slightly chunky for more texture. Either works—it's personal preference.
