Buffalo chicken wrap cut in half with yogurt drizzle

About this recipe

Buffalo chicken does not need a deep fryer. Quick skillet chicken and a light buffalo toss give you the heat without a heavy coating.

Greek yogurt cools each bite the way ranch would, with more protein and fewer calories.

This is a strong leftover play. Use yesterday's cooked chicken, warm it briefly, then sauce and wrap.

  1. COOK THE CHICKEN

  2. Step 1

    Toss chicken with garlic powder and salt.

  3. Step 2

    Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering. Cook chicken until browned and 165°F, 8 to 10 minutes, stirring once or twice.

  4. Step 3

    Lower heat to low. Toss chicken with buffalo sauce until lightly coated, about 1 minute. Remove from heat.

  5. ASSEMBLE

  6. Step 4

    Warm tortillas in a dry skillet over medium for 20 to 30 seconds per side until pliable, or microwave 15 seconds.

  7. Step 5

    Spread about 2 tablespoons yogurt on each tortilla. Add lettuce and a quarter of the buffalo chicken. Fold in the sides, roll tightly, and serve with celery if using.

Tips

  1. If using leftover chicken, warm it in the skillet 2 to 3 minutes over medium, then toss with sauce.

  2. Choose a thinner wrap when you can. Thick burrito tortillas push calories up fast.
