Instructions
- 1
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground chicken and season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cook, breaking into small crumbles, for 6–8 minutes until fully cooked and beginning to crisp.

Reduce heat to medium-low. Add hot sauce and butter to the cooked chicken. Stir to combine and cook 2–3 minutes until the butter melts and the sauce coats the chicken in a glossy, spicy coating. Taste — add more hot sauce for extra heat.

Arrange large butter lettuce leaves as cups on a serving platter. The lettuce should have natural cup shapes that can hold the filling without spilling.

Fill each lettuce cup with buffalo chicken mixture. Top with diced celery, shredded carrots, blue cheese crumbles, and a drizzle of blue cheese or ranch dressing. Finish with green onions. These are best assembled just before serving so the lettuce stays crisp.
