Here’s a fantastic way to get the taste of buffalo chicken without the grease and fat . And, they are actually really healthy too! You can make the chicken salad into sandwiches or low carb lettuce wraps. Both are fantastic tasting! They have a bit of a kick but not too hot. The skinny for each fiber rich sandwich, 204 calories, 3 grams of fat and 5 Weight Watchers POINTS. Two low carb lettuce wraps have 107 calories, 2 grams of fat and 3 Weight Watchers POINTS PLUS. Either way you choose to make them, watch everyone gobbled them up!!!
