Buffalo Chicken Wraps

December 30, 2012 / No Comments

During the holidays we had the whole family visiting so I needed to prepare some quick and easy meals to feed everyone that were both healthy and delicious. Wraps are always a great choice for fast lunches and can be adapted to meet everyone’s likes and dislikes. This tasty buffalo chicken wrap has the flavors of those spicy chicken wings we all love, but by using the breast meat of a grocery store rotisserie chicken and whole wheat wraps, and by lightening up the blue cheese sauce it became a much healthier alternative to fried buffalo wings. I added thin celery sticks for crunch, baby spinach leaves and diced tomatoes for added nutrition although you could substitute my choices for your own ingredients very easily.

Why Healthy

White breast meat is a lean source of protein.
Using low fat mayonnaise and fat free yogurt along with blue cheese crumbles creates a tasty blue cheese sauce with fewer calories from fat.

Directions:

Place the chicken in a bowl and toss with the buffalo sauce, then season with salt and pepper.
In a small bowl, whisk together the blue cheese, mayonnaise, and yogurt, then season with salt and pepper.
Lay a wrap on the counter, then spread with a tablespoon or two of the sauce, and top with one quarter of the chicken, celery, tomatoes, and baby spinach.
Drizzle the ingredients with a little extra buffalo hot sauce.
Tuck in the sides of the wrap, then roll fairly tightly into a wrap.
