  • Cover with plastic wrap and let marinate in the fridge for 30 min.
  • Preheat oven to 375 F.
  • Coat each chicken piece in breadcrumbs. Place them on a large baking sheet lined with greased parchment paper or foil, making sure they're spaced apart. Spray the chicken with oil. Bake for 30 minutes.

  • Remove from the oven and let cool for a couple of minutes. In this step I tossed the chicken in more hot sauce (optional, leave it out to keep the chicken extra crispy).
  • Meanwhile assemble the chicken wraps by combining carrots, red onion, tomatoes (optional) on top of lettuce.

NOTES

 
  • To Store and reheat. These wraps are best enjoyed as soon as prepared due to it's breading. To make them crispy again, reheat in an air fryer for 5 or fewer minutes. Store in the fridge for up to 2-3 days.
  • To Freeze. You can freeze these too, but without the breading for up to 2 months.
  • Nutrition is calculated without the blue cheese sauce.
