INGREDIENTS
  

  • 1 cup gluten free breadcrumbs or panko breadcrumbs, more texture and crispiness
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or vegetable oil
  • 1 large boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into bite size pieces 1-2 inches thick
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced (1 tablespoon)
  • ⅓ cup hot sauce such as Frank's or Valentina
  • 2-3 tablespoon butter, melted (use 3 for not so spicy)
  • 1 large head Butter lettuce, boston bib or romaine lettuce
  • 1 large carrot, cut into matchsticks
  • 1 large red onion, finely diced
  • Blue cheese or ranch dressing for serving
  • Blue cheese crumbles for serving, optional
  • Celery stalks for serving
  • ½ cup cherry tomatoes, optional

INSTRUCTIONS
 

  • In a large bowl combine hot sauce, butter, salt and black pepper. Add chicken and toss to coat. (Or you can make a little extra sauce and keeping it separately for later to drizzle over chicken once baked).
  • Cover with plastic wrap and let marinate in the fridge for 30 min.
  • Preheat oven to 375 F.
  • Dip each chicken piece into breadcrumbs. Arrange the chicken on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper or foil keeping them apart from one another. Bake for 30 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and let cool for a couple minutes. Here you can toss the chicken in more hot sauce mixture (that’s what i did)
  • Meanwhile assemble the chicken wraps by combining carrots, red onion, tomatoes on top of lettuce. Add chicken pieces, drizzle with ranch dressing or blue cheese sauce and serve.
  • Flavor and texture: chicken pieces are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Tossed in more hot sauce after baking adds more heat and the texture will change slightly.
