These Buffalo chicken wraps are excellent. Honey and lime juice help tone down the hot wing sauce for a refreshing zing. They’re perfect for lunch or a light evening meal. For quicker preparation, use store-bought blue cheese dressing instead of homemade. –Priscilla Gilbert, Indian Harbour Beach, Florida

Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup crumbled blue cheese
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons 2% milk
  • 4-1/2 teaspoons lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, cubed
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Directions

  1. For dressing, in a small bowl, combine the first six ingredients. Cover and refrigerate until serving.
