Hot Wings Wrap

This recipe was originally written to be an appetizer, but we changed it to be a main dish.  This one also came from the book: "Recipes from Gloria".  Both the Steak sandwich and this recipe were amazing!  I love my new cookbook.  The recipe below makes 4 large wraps.


Ingredients:
Blue Cheese Sauce:
1/4 cup mayo (we used Greek yogurt)
2 Tbsp milk
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
juice of 1/2 lemon
salt and cayenne pepper to taste
1/3 cup crumbled blue cheese
1 Tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped

For condiments:
1/2 cup cucumber halved lengthwise, seeded and thinly sliced (about 1/2 a cucumber)
1/2 cup celery, thinly sliced (about 1 celery stalk)
1/2 cup carrot, julienned
8 Boston, Bibb letuce leaves washed and dried (we used spinach)

For the hot sauce:
1/4 cup Frank's Red Hot sauce
1/4 cup honey
1/4 lime juice

For the chicken:
1 Tbsp vegetable oil (we used Grape seed oil)
1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cubed
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp Cajun seasoning blend

Directions:
1. Stir together blue cheese sauce ingredients in a small bowl, chill until ready to serve.
2.  Chop vegetables and chill until ready to serve.
3.  Combine the wing sauce, honey and lime juice in a bowl.
4.  Toss cubed chicken with seasonings in a bowl.
5.  Heat a large saute pan over medium-high heat; add the oil and saute the chicken stirring occasionally until chicken begins to brown, about 3 minutes.
6.  Add the hot-sauce honey mixture; simmer until sauce reduces and thickens, about 5 minutes.
7.  Assemble wraps with chicken, lettuce, blue cheese sauce, and vegetables.  Enjoy!
