Buffalo Chicken Wraps

I am a huge lover of Buffalo Wild Wings' *Buffalo Ranch Chicken Wrap* - - it is FANTASTIC. But, while enjoy it so much, let's be real. I can't always spend $13 on just myself for a meal. It's a great treat, but not realistic. So, I decided to check out some recipes that will help me make my favorite meal from home! Below is the recipe for the shredded buffalo chicken I used in the wrap (found at skinnytaste.com). I used whole wheat wraps, but you can cut calories and use lettuce bowls if you wish! I used my own toppings in addition to the chicken, which were
  • lettuce
  • tomato
  • cheese
  • buffalo sauce
  • ranch
Remember to go easy on the buffalo sauce and the ranch. While they taste great, they are super high in calories.I served my wrap with some raw carrots and "buffalo chips" - my version of Buffalo Wild Wings' buffalo chips. You will find the recipe for my homemade buffalo chips below!

Buffalo Shredded Chicken


Ingredients

  • 24 oz boneless skinless chicken breast
  • 1/2 onion, diced
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 16 oz fat free low sodium chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup hot cayenne pepper sauce or your favorite buffalo sauce
Directions

In crock pot, combine chicken, onions, garlic and broth (enough to cover your chicken, use water if the can of broth isn't enough). Cover and cook on high 4 hours. Remove the chicken from the pot, reserver 1/2 cup broth and discard the rest. Shred the chicken with two forks, return to the slow cooker with 1/2 cup broth and the hot sauce and set on high for an additional 30 minutes. 



"Buffalo Chips"

Ingredients
  • 3-4 red potatoes
  • 1 TBSP Olive Oil
  • dash of sea salt
Directions

Pre-heat the oven to 400 degrees. Slice potatoes thinly - about 1/4" thick. Place in mixing bowl and drizzle with olive oil and stir until all the potato slices are coated. Add the dash of salt. Stir once more. Place on a cookie sheet in a single layer. Cook for approximately 30 minutes.

**If you have a larger family and use more potatoes than the recipe calls for, consider cooking slightly longer than 30 minutes. 


ENJOY!!
