Ingredients

  • 1 large boneless skinless chicken breast cut into bite size pieces 1-2 inches thick
  • ⅓ cup Franks red hot
  • 2-3 tablespoon butter melted (use 3 for not so spicy)
  • 2 garlic cloves minced (1 tablespoon)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup pork rinds or panko breadcrumbs if not keto or low carb
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or vegetable oil
  • 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

Instructions
 

  • 1. In a large bowl, combine hot sauce, butter, garlic, salt and black pepper. Add chicken and toss to coat. (Or you can make a little extra sauce and keep it separate for later to drizzle over the chicken once baked). 
  • 2. Cover with plastic wrap and let marinate in the fridge for 30 min. 
  • 3. Preheat oven to 375 F. 
  • 4. Dip each chicken piece into pork rinds/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.
  • 5. Remove from the oven and let cool for a couple of minutes. Here you can toss the chicken in more hot sauce mixture (that’s what I did.)
  • 6. Meanwhile, assemble the wraps by combining carrots, red onion, and bell peppers on top of lettuce. Add chicken pieces, drizzle with ranch dressing or blue cheese sauce and serve.
