Ingredients:
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken tenders
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 3/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup seasoned breadcrumbs
- Kosher salt and black pepper, to taste
- Garlic powder, to taste
- Olive oil spray
- 3/4 cup buffalo wing sauce
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon honey (or hot honey, for an extra kick)
- 4 large flour tortillas
- Chopped romaine lettuce
- Crumbled blue cheese
- Ranch dressing, for drizzling
Cooking Guide:
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Season chicken tenders with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- Set up a breading station with three bowls: flour, beaten eggs, and breadcrumbs combined. Dredge chicken in flour, then egg, and finally breadcrumbs, ensuring complete coating.
- Lightly spray a baking sheet with olive oil. Place breaded chicken on the baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- While the chicken bakes, prepare the sauce. In a saucepan, combine buffalo sauce, butter, and honey. Heat over low heat until butter melts and sauce is warmed through. Whisk to combine.
- Once the chicken is cooked, toss it in the buffalo sauce mixture to coat evenly.
- Warm tortillas in a microwave or skillet. Spread ranch dressing on each tortilla. Layer with lettuce, buffalo chicken, and blue cheese crumbles. Wrap tightly and enjoy!
Tips:
- For spicier wraps, use hot honey in the sauce or add a pinch of cayenne pepper.
- Leftover chicken can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet or microwave until warmed through.
- Get creative with your fillings! Add other chopped vegetables like celery, red onion, or avocado for extra flavor and texture.
