2. Cover and cook on LOW 4 hours, until the chicken is cooked through.

3. Remove the chicken from the slow cooker and discard the liquid and vegetables. Shred the chicken with 2 forks and return it to the slow cooker. Add the hot sauce and cook on HIGH 30 minutes.

4. For the blue cheese dressing: In a blender, combine the buttermilk, mayo, 2 tbsp. of the blue cheese, the scallion whites, garlic powder, onion powder, parsley, salt, and pepper to taste. Blend until smooth. Stir in the remaining 3 tbsp. blue cheese.

5. To serve, put 2 lettuce leaves on each of 6 plates. Place a generous 1/4 cup chicken on each leaf, top each with 1 tbsp. shredded carrots, 1 tbsp. celery, and 1 tbsp. of the dressing.
