For the chicken

  • 5 LB boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 stalks celery
  • ½ yellow onion chopped
  • 1/3 cup shredded carrots
  • 1 clove garlic, chopped
  • 1 cup low sodium chicken broth

  • ½ cup hot cayenne pepper sauce (Frank’s)

For the Wraps

  • 6 large iceberg or Bibb lettuce leaves
  • ¾ cup shredded carrots

In the crock pot combine the first 7 ingredients listed under “For the chicken”.  DO NOT add the cayenne pepper sauce until after the chicken is cooked. Cook on high for 4 hours, or low for 6 hours.

Remove chicken from the crock pot when cooking is complete.  Reserve ½ cup of the broth (from the crock pot) and discard everything else left in the pot.

Shred the chicken with two forks and return it to the slow cooker with ½ cup reserved broth and ½ cup cayenne pepper sauce.  Cook on high for 20-30 minutes.

Take a lettuce leaf and add some chicken mixture to the middle.  Top with carrot shreds.

1 cup chicken mixture = one serving.
