It involves buffalo chicken and blue cheese, so, you’re welcome. Not only are these most delicious than restaurant buffalo chicken wraps, but they’re made in your own kitchen with tons of veggies and an easy buffalo chicken mixture.
All About the Buffalo Chicken
Let’s talk about this buffalo chicken for a second. It is, in fact, the star of this chicken wrap recipe. Our signature buffalo chicken recipe is made with 4 simple ingredients. Here’s what you need: Shredded chicken breast – bake your chicken any way you want and then use 2 forks (or a stand mixer) to shred your chicken. Plain Greek yogurt – Greek yogurt is the base of the buffalo sauce. You can use any fat % Greek yogurt, or even plain yogurt as well. Hot sauce – we prefer Frank’s Red Hot Sauce when it comes to buffalo. But, if you have another favorite, feel free to use that one. Honey: honey is our secret weapon for taming the heat. It brings the hot sauce down just a tad and also adds a little sweetness to every bite.
Is buffalo chicken healthy?
Not all buffalo chicken is healthy, but our recipe is only 4 simple ingredients and made with protein-packed Greek yogurt and lean chicken breast. You can make your shredded chicken however you want; you can even buy pre-shredded chicken at the grocery store which is the biggest time saver. If you’re making your own shredded chicken, check out some of our easy tutorials below:

Once you’ve got your cooked chicken breast all you need to do is shred it. To keep things simple, we use 2 forks to shred the chicken breast, but you can also use a stand mixer. Simply shred each chicken breast with your forks by pulling them apart.
How long does buffalo chicken last in the fridge?
Your buffalo chicken will last up to 3-5 days in the fridge. Make sure to store it in an airtight container like a glass meal prep container.

Tips & Tricks
Meal Prep it!
This Buffalo Chicken Wrap is a delicious lunch option (and one of our fav chicken meal prep recipes!) for lunch on the go. We recommend prepping the buffalo chicken and slicing and dicing your veggies but storing them all separately until the day you want to make them. No one likes a soggy tortilla and this is why we recommend making your life easy with the meal-prep aspect of it but storing the ingredients separately.
Q&A
Storage
We recommend storing all of the parts of this recipe separately in the refrigerator so that nothing gets soggy as it sits in the fridge. Prepare your buffalo chicken wraps the morning of or night before you’re going to eat them. Can you freeze these wraps? We don’t recommend freezing these buffalo chicken wraps and here’s why. Dairy doesn’t freeze so well and risks curdling. These wraps are made with Greek yogurt, which is why we don’t recommend freezing these for later.
