Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Season 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts with 1 tsp kosher salt and 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper, then brush with 2 tbsp olive oil.
  2. Step 2: Grill chicken for 5-6 minutes per side until internal temperature reaches 165°F and juices run clear; remove and let rest for 5 minutes.
  3. Step 3: While chicken rests, in a medium bowl, combine 2 cups shredded green cabbage, 1/3 cup crumbled blue cheese, 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt, and 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley; mix until slaw is evenly coated and creamy.
  4. Step 4: Slice grilled chicken into thin strips and toss with 1/2 cup buffalo wing sauce until evenly coated and glossy.
  5. Step 5: Warm 4 large flour tortillas in a dry skillet over low heat for 30 seconds each side until pliable.
  6. Step 6: Place 1/4 of buffalo chicken strips in the center of each tortilla, top with 1/4 of blue cheese slaw, then fold sides over and roll tightly into wraps.
  7. Step 7: Serve immediately, enjoying the contrast of spicy chicken and cooling slaw.
