Description

This Baked Buffalo Chicken Wrap recipe features tender, crispy chicken tenders coated in a flavorful buffalo sauce, wrapped in a warm flour tortilla with fresh romaine lettuce, shredded cheddar cheese, and creamy ranch dressing. A healthier baked alternative to fried buffalo chicken, perfect for a quick and satisfying lunch or dinner.

Ingredients

Scale

Chicken and Coating

  • 4 Tbsp All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 Egg (beaten, Eggland’s Best Classic)
  • 3/4 cup Panko Breadcrumbs
  • 1 Chicken Breast (sliced into tenders)

Wrap Components

  • 2 Large Flour Tortillas
  • 2 pieces Romaine Lettuce
  • 1/2 cup Buffalo Sauce
  • 2 Tbsp Cheddar Cheese (shredded)
  • 2 Tbsp Ranch Dressing (or Blue Cheese Dressing)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) to prepare for baking the chicken tenders.
  2. Prep Coating Stations: Set up three separate stations: a plate with all-purpose flour, a bowl with the beaten egg, and a plate with panko breadcrumbs for breading the chicken.
  3. Slice Chicken: Slice the chicken breast into tenders for even baking and easier coating.
  4. Flour the Chicken: Coat the chicken tenders evenly with flour and gently pound them with your palm to help them cook evenly.
  5. Egg Dip: Dip the floured chicken into the beaten egg, allowing excess egg to drip off before moving to the next step.
  6. Bread the Chicken: Coat the chicken tenders thoroughly with panko breadcrumbs, making sure each piece is well covered for a crispy texture.
  7. Bake Chicken: Place the breaded chicken tenders in a baking dish and bake in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and cooked through (no pink inside).
  8. Toss in Buffalo Sauce: Transfer the baked chicken tenders to a medium bowl, add buffalo sauce, and toss until all pieces are fully coated.
  9. Prepare Cheese: Shred the cheddar cheese while the chicken cooks.
  10. Warm Tortillas: Heat the flour tortillas in a skillet for about one minute on each side to make them pliable for wrapping.
  11. Assemble Wraps: Lay a tortilla flat, place a piece of romaine lettuce, half the buffalo chicken, half the shredded cheddar cheese, and half the ranch dressing on top. Roll the tortilla tightly to form a wrap. Repeat with the second tortilla, cut each wrap in half, and serve.

Notes

  • You can substitute blue cheese dressing for ranch for extra tanginess.
  • Make sure the chicken is cooked through to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) for safety.
  • Heat tortillas briefly to prevent them from tearing when wrapping.
  • Use fresh romaine lettuce for crisp texture.
  • For spicier wraps, increase the amount of buffalo sauce.
