Greek Yogurt Buffalo Chicken Wraps - A Gluten Free, Clean Eating Crock Pot Recipe

One of my standard Sunday afternoon activities, is prepping my meals for the week ahead. I plan out all my snacks, pre-assemble my salads, wash my fruits, hard boil my eggs (free range organic, of course - and if you don't know why that matters, follow my blog - I'll get into it in a future post, for sure) and make a big pot or pan (or in this case, crock pot) of something I can portion out for my dinners for the week. 


Having healthy options at the ready, makes it a lot easier to stay on track, than it is to cheat, and sets me up mentally for the week as well, with some basic organization, so I don't have to think about what's for lunch (or breakfast, or snack, or dinner) once Monday hits and life gets CRAZY.

So this week, I tried a new recipe - Greek Yogurt Buffalo Chicken Wraps. Not only was it super easy; it was also flippin' yummy!

Greek Yogurt Buffalo Chicken

Ingredients:
  • 4 chickens breasts
  • 1 1/2 cups of plain Greek yogurt (I used fat free)
  • 2 cups hot sauce, divided (no need to get fancy; I used the store brand)
  • Blue cheese crumbles (optional - and I used reduced fat)
  • Sriracha Sauce
  • Fresh Romaine Lettuce
Put the chicken breasts in crockpot with 1 cup of hot sauce. Cook on low for 8 hours or on high for 4 hours. Once chicken is cooked, drain the juice from the pot. Once juice is drained add the second cup of hot sauce to the pot. Then use your fork to shred the chicken, adding in the Greek yogurt. The chicken will shred easily. 

While it doesn't look like much more than a creamy mess, in the crock pot, it does get pretty when you plate it. Select large Romaine leaves, and place about 1/2 cup of chicken mixture inside. Sprinkle with blue cheese crumbles, and drizzle with Sriracha. Fold up the bottom of the lettuce leaf, and fold over the left and right sides, pinning in place with a toothpick. Enjoy!
