Slimmed-Down Buffalo Chicken

Buffalo chicken and I have a pretty awesome relationship. But once you add in the ranch and cheese, you're piling on quite a bit of calories for a sandwich, or even a wrap! I was really feeling the need for buffalo chicken this week, so I figured I better hurry up and figure out an alternative before I totally broke the calorie bank. I've already blogged about my husband's awesome discovery of the low-cal lavash bread, and here's a new application for it. Enjoy, buffalo chicken lovers! :)

Buffalo Chicken Wraps - serves 4

4 wedges, Laughing Cow light swiss cheese
4 Tbsp light Ranch dressing
1/8 cup hot sauce (I use Frank's Red Hot)
1 can chunk chicken breast
2 sheets lavash bread
1 cup broccoli slaw **

Start by shredding the can of chicken chunks. Heat in a skillet with the hot sauce over medium heat, until warm and mixed. Soften the cheese wedges in the microwave with the Ranch dressing - careful, only a few seconds are needed to warm it up! Cut the lavash sheets in half horizontally to make 4 rectangles. Mix the cheese and Ranch together and divide equally among the 4 rectangles. Spread onto 1/3 of each rectangle on one end. Layer 1/4 of the chicken mixture on each wrap on top of the cheese mixture. Top each one with 1/4 cup of broccoli slaw and roll it up! Enjoy warm, or you could chill it if you prefer it to be cold - both are tasty!

** I really like broccoli slaw, but if that's not something you have on hand, you could use chopped celery, regular slaw, or your favorite lettuce. Just something green to add veggies, volume and get some crunch!
