A quick and delicious recipe for spicy buffalo chicken wraps with creamy slaw, perfect for a cozy weeknight dinner.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 medium boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 10–12 oz total)
- 4 large whole wheat or spinach tortillas (8–10 inch)
- 1/3 cup buffalo sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- 1/3 cup plain Greek yogurt (or ranch or blue cheese dressing)
- 1 1/2 cups shredded cabbage or crunchy slaw mix
- 1/2 cup shredded carrots
- 1 celery stalk, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons chopped scallions or red onion
- 2 teaspoons olive oil (for cooking)
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Optional: crumbled blue cheese, sliced pickles, hot honey drizzle, or chopped cilantro for garnish
Instructions
- Prep the chicken and slaw: Pat the chicken dry and season with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika. Mix shredded cabbage, carrots, celery, and scallions in a bowl; season lightly and toss with olive oil or lemon juice.
- Heat the pan and sear the chicken: Warm a skillet over medium-high heat with olive oil. Cook the chicken for 4–5 minutes per side until browned and cooked through.
- Shred or slice the chicken: Transfer to a cutting board, let rest, then slice or shred and toss with buffalo sauce.
- Make the creamy drizzle: Stir Greek yogurt with buffalo sauce, salt, and pepper until creamy.
- Warm the tortillas: Heat in a skillet or microwave, then keep warm until ready to assemble.
- Assemble the wraps: Lay a tortilla flat, add buffalo chicken, slaw, yogurt mixture, and optional garnishes. Roll snugly.
- Optional: Toast the wrap for a warm, crispy finish.
- Serve immediately: Cut in half and enjoy while warm.
