#WWHD: Buffalo Chicken Salad Wraps


A work week is all about convenience when you're a rockstar -- I mean, that's the only way you're going to get everything done, right? Well, I knew I couldn't do #WWHD without a wrap, being that wraps are the most portable & convenient food besides, well.... an apple. Since you can't have an apple for your entire meal (well, you shouldn't,) I thought I would create an awesome spin on one of my favorite things ever -- buffalo chicken -- and teach you how to wrap it so you can get your nutrients and eat them too. Enjoy.

Servings: 2

What You'll Need:
  • 1 small package raw chicken tenders
  • 1 egg white
  • 1/2 cup buffalo sauce (or, combine hot sauce & melted butter)
  • 1/4 cup flour
  • 1/4 cup cornmeal (about $1 for a jar at the store)
  • 2 wraps (or large tortillas -- go multigrain if you can -- fiber!)
  • 2 cups salad greens (go with what you have!)
The Step-by-Step:
  1. Combine egg white and 2 tbsp buffalo sauce in a small bowl. Stir together.
  2. In another small bowl, combine flour & cornmeal.
  3. Take your baking sheet and spray it with cooking spray. Turn on oven to 350 degrees F.
  4. Take chicken tenders and sprinkle with a pinch of salt & pepper.
  5. One at a time, dunk the tenders in the sauce mixture, then shake off the excess (it shouldn't drip.) Then toss it in the flour mixture. Put it on the pan.
  6. When all the tenders have been coated and placed on the pan, bake them for 30 minutes.
  7. When time is up, lightly toss the tenders in a little more sauce. (If you are too rough, the coating could fall off. If this happens a little, don't freak -- it still will be delicious.)
  8. Bake for another 10 minutes.
  9. To make wraps, spread a cup of salad on each wrap. Then split the chicken between the two. Roll up, and cut in half.
  10. Serve with even more buffalo sauce, if you're like me :)
