Ingredients
  

Chicken and Wraps

  • 1.5 pounds boneless skinless chicken breast cut into bite-size pieces
  • 0.5 cup buffalo sauce plus more for drizzling
  • 2 cups plain panko bread crumbs
  • 4-6 leaves large soft leaves of lettuce e.g., Boston Bibb Lettuce
  • 1 cup cooked quinoa

Preparation Steps

  • Preheat the oven to 375 and lightly grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.
  • Toss the chicken in the ½ cup buffalo sauce, cover, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  • Pour the breadcrumbs into a shallow dish. Coat each chicken piece evenly and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake for 30 minutes. You can toss the baked chicken with the extra buffalo sauce if you like.
  • To assemble the wraps, fill each leaf of lettuce with quinoa, tomatoes, and avocado. Top with the crispy baked buffalo chicken, drizzle with the blue cheese, and sprinkle with the green onions.
  • These are also a delicious cold lunch if you prepare the chicken ahead of time and refrigerate it before serving.

Notes

Prep time includes 30 minutes for marinating the chicken.
