Healthy Buffalo Chicken

Let’s talk about this healthy buffalo chicken for a second. It is, in fact, the star of this healthy wrap recipe. Our signature buffalo chicken recipe is made with 3 simple ingredients. Here’s what you need:

• 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 – the Greek yogurt is the base of the buffalo sauce. You can use any fat % Greek yogurt, or even plain yogurt as well. Can’t do dairy? Try a dairy-free option!
• 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.

Is buffalo chicken healthy?

Not all buffalo chicken is healthy, but our recipe is only 3 ingredients and made with protein-packed Greek yogurt and lean chicken breast.

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.

Ways to Make Shredded Chicken

This wrap with chicken uses shredded chicken, so we thought we’d give you a few pointers on how to make it! You can make your shredded chicken however you want. Some popular ways to do it include slow cooker, Instant Pot, oven, etc. We do have a few simple tutorials on FFF for shredded chicken —

• Instant Pot shredded chicken
• Slow Cooker Shredded Chicken
• Baked Chicken
• Grilled Chicken

Once you’ve got your baked chicken, it’s time to shred. 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 to Make this Wrap Even Healthier

Looking to make this buffalo chicken wrap recipe even healthier? Try swapping out the tortilla for one of the following low-carb options!

• Lettuce – turn this recipe into a lettuce wrap! Same flavors, just less carbs.
• Low carb/calorie wraps – there are so many low carb wraps on the market these days. Head to the grocery store and grab your favorite one.
• Cabbage – don’t have lettuce? Try a piece of cabbage for the same effect as a lettuce wrap.
• No wrap – turn it into a salad like this Buffalo Chicken Salad in a Jar

In addition to swapping out the tortilla for something lower carb and calorie, you can also add more veggies such as spinach, carrots, peppers, etc.

Is this recipe gluten-free? If you use a gluten-free tortilla (or no tortilla), then this recipe is naturally gluten-free.

Meal Prep Lunch

Lunch, however, you prep and let it sit for a few hours before you eat it. Let me tell you– I can’t do mushy bread or gooey lettuce. It was always a fun challenge to make lunches that were easier to pack and STAYED delicious until lunch.

This Healthy Buffalo Chicken Wrap is a delicious lunch option (and one of our fav chicken meal prep recipes!) for lunch on-the-go! Prep the cooked chicken Sunday night, cut the veggies and make your wraps.

You can prep a couple of wraps for the first couple days of the week or you can have all the ingredients prepped and prepare the wrap before you head to work in the morning. Both options leave you with a satisfying lunch packed with protein and veggies.

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.
