Notes
Total cook time above includes time for the Instant Pot to come to pressure and to naturally release the steam.
If you do not have an Instant Pot you can make your chicken breasts using a slow-cooker or crockpot. Cook the chicken in the slow-cooker with chicken broth for 4 hours on High or 8 hours on Low. All of the other directions in this recipe will remain the same.
Because the chicken is cooked in broth it will have some flavor. Be cautious with how much seasoning, salt, and pepper you add. This recipe shouldn't need much. Add a small amount, taste a little, and adjust if needed.
I love to use romaine hearts for the lettuce because it is large enough to hold enough filling for one large serving. You can also use butter or bib lettuce.
I used crumbled blue cheese, feel free to use keto-friendly blue cheese dressing. Drizzle the dressing on top of the lettuce wrap. It sounds amazing. I will definitely try that out the next time I prepare these wraps
