Step 1: Gathering the Ingredients

If you want to make these delicious Buffalo Chicken and Broccoli Wraps, the first thing you need to do is get all the ingredients together. As with any great recipe, you want to start with the best ingredients to get the best flavor and texture. Let’s take a look at the ingredients that will make this recipe come alive.

  • The first thing you need is a boneless skinless chicken breast. It is best to use fresh chicken breasts, as they are much juicier and more flavorful. In addition to the chicken, you’ll want to add a generous portion of broccoli. Green, fresh flowers are a great way to add some freshness to your food, and they’ll add crunch to every bite.
  • Now, let’s talk about Buffalo Sauce. Buffalo sauce is known for its tangy and spicy flavor, so it’s important to have a good bottle of Buffalo sauce on hand. Whether you’re looking for a milder version, or you’re a fan of a fiery kick, choose a sauce that matches your taste preferences. You’ll want to add creamy mayonnaise or tangy ranch dressing to balance out these bold flavors and add a touch of creaminess to your wrap.
  • Add minced garlic, onion powder, and dried oregano for an extra kick. These flavorful spices will add depth and complexity to your chicken and broccoli. Be sure to add some pantry staples like salt, black pepper, and olive oil to balance the flavors and bring everything together.
  • Lastly, you’ll need a pack of your favorite wraps. Whether you prefer whole wheat, spinach, or classic flour wraps, choose the ones that will perfectly envelop the vibrant filling while providing a satisfying chew.

Step 2: Preparing the Buffalo Chicken and Broccoli

Now that you have gathered all the necessary ingredients, it’s time to dive into the heart of the recipe: preparing the mouthwatering Buffalo Chicken and Broccoli filling. This step will infuse the wraps with irresistible flavors and textures, making them a true delight to bite into. 

  • To start our flavor-packed journey, cook one pound of skinless boneless chicken breasts until tender, then cut them into bite-sized pieces.
  • Let’s turn the heat up a notch, in a bowl, dip your shredded chicken in a generous half cup of buffalo sauce, then dip each piece in the sauce, until each bite is coated in spicy goodness.
  • This fiery combination is going to liven up our wraps and infuse every bite with a delicious kick. But let’s not stop there, let’s add a crunchy crusader to the mix: broccoli! Steam 1 cup broccoli, florets included, until tender but crunchy. Broccoli not only adds a nutritious punch, it gives our wraps a refreshing texture that works in harmony with our bold buffalo chicken!
  • So when your buffalo chicken dances with the spices, and your broccoli lends crunch, you’ve created a wrap that’s not just a meal, it’s a celebration of flavor!

Step 3: Assembling the Wraps

Now that you’ve made the delicious buffalo chicken and broccoli filling, it’s time to get down to the fun part: assembling the wraps. Here begins the fun part.

  • To begin, place a tortilla on a clean, flat surface. Spread a generous amount of buffalo chicken and broccoli filling in the center of the tortilla, spreading evenly with the back of a spoon or spatula. Make sure not to overload the wrap, as it can be difficult to fold and eat.
  • Once your space is filled, it’s time to add some extra tasty toppings. Consider sprinkling some shredded lettuce or diced tomatoes for a refreshing crunch. If you’re feeling adventurous, you can also drizzle some ranch or blue cheese dressing for extra flavor.
  • Now comes the fun thing! Carefully fold one side of the tortilla over the filling, pulling it tightly. Then, fold the bottom of the tortilla toward the center and continue rolling until you reach the opposite end. The tightness of your roll will depend on your personal preference, but make sure it’s secure enough to hold everything together.
  • Once you’ve assembled your wrap, you can place it seam-side down on a plate or wrap it in parchment paper for easy transport. Repeat these steps with the remaining tortillas and filling until you have a batch of delicious Buffalo Chicken and Broccoli Wraps ready to eat.

Mouthwatering Variations

  1. Blue cheese crumbles are a great way to add some tang to your buffalo chicken and broccoli wrap. This crumble adds a creamy, slightly salty flavor that perfectly complements the heat and tang of the buffalo sauce. You can add them to the filling before you roll it up, or mix them in for more spread.
  2. If you’re a heat eater, you’ll want to add a slice of jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce to your wrap. Jalapenos and hot sauce will give your buffalo chicken and broccoli a spicy twist. Whether you prefer a mild hot or spicy, mouth-watering experience, these extra ingredients will satisfy your spicy appetite.
  3. For those who like it a little sweeter, try sprinkling dried cranberries (or raisins) on your wrap. These dried fruits have a sweet, chewy texture that pairs perfectly with the savory side of the wrap. They add some complexity to the wrap and surprise your palate with every bite.
  4. If you’re looking for a little more crunch, try adding some chopped celery or chopped carrots. Not only do they add a nice crunch to your wraps, but they add texture to them. A little crunchy celery adds to the tenderness of the chicken and broccoli and creates a mouthfeel that will keep you wanting more.

Serving Ideas to Wow Your Guests

  1. One of the best ways to impress your guests is to serve your wraps on a wooden cutting board or wooden platter. Not only does it add a touch of sophistication to your food presentation, but it also makes it easier for your guests to wrap and unwrap them. The natural grain of the wood goes great with the wonderful flavor of the buffalo chicken with the broccoli.
  2. If you want to add some color to your plate, try adding fresh cilantro or fresh parsley leaves. Not only do they add a splash of color, but they add a refreshing flavor to your buffalo sauce. Sprinkle a few leaves over your wrap before adding to your plate for a nice garnish.
  3. For a more interactive and customizable experience, set up a DIY wrapping station (only for party buffets). Place the buffalo chicken, broccoli, and additional toppings of your choice, such as diced tomatoes, sliced avocado, or crumbled blue cheese. Provide a stack of warm tortillas or lettuce leaves for wrapping and let your guests create their own wraps of their choice. This not only creates a fun and engaging environment but also allows each person to create their wrap according to their preferences.
  4. To make your wraps stand out from the crowd, pair them with a zesty dip. Whether it’s creamy ranch, blue cheese, or spicy salsa, adding a dipping sauce to your wraps will enhance their flavor profile and add a delicious surprise. Place small dipping bowls right next to your wraps for your guests to dip or drizzle as they wish.
