Ingredients
Scale
Chicken and Sauce
- 3–4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (approximately 1 pound)
- 1/2 cup buffalo sauce
Salad and Wrap
- 3 cups romaine lettuce, chopped
- 1/2 cup Caesar dressing
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
Instructions
- Cook the Chicken: Preheat a skillet over medium heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Cook the chicken in the skillet until golden brown and fully cooked through, about 6-7 minutes per side, ensuring an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- Add Buffalo Sauce: Remove the cooked chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes. Then toss the chicken breasts in buffalo sauce until they are evenly coated with the spicy flavor.
- Prepare Vegetables: Chop the romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces and halve the cherry tomatoes to prepare fresh, crisp salad ingredients for the wrap.
- Assemble Wraps: Lay out each flour tortilla and spread a generous layer of Caesar dressing evenly over the surface. Then layer the buffalo chicken, chopped romaine lettuce, halved cherry tomatoes, and shredded Parmesan cheese on top.
- Roll Up: Tightly roll each tortilla around the fillings to form a secure wrap that holds all components together without spilling.
- Slice and Serve: Using a sharp knife, cut each wrap diagonally in half for easy handling and appealing presentation. Serve immediately and optionally pair with extra buffalo sauce or Caesar dressing on the side for dipping.
Notes
- For a lower calorie option, use light Caesar dressing and choose whole wheat tortillas.
- To make this recipe gluten-free, substitute flour tortillas with gluten-free wraps.
- Chicken can be grilled instead of skillet-cooked for a smoky flavor.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days but are best enjoyed fresh.
- Adjust buffalo sauce quantity to control the spiciness to your preference.
