Notes
a) How to make Shredded Chicken - If you aren't using rotisserie chicken and only have raw breasts, have no fear. Here's how I make my own juicy shredded chicken:
- Season both sides of 2 chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
- Heat a little oil in a deep pan, fry each side of the chicken on high just to get some colour.
- Pour in enough water (or chicken stock) to cover the chicken, place a lid on top and poach on a simmer until the centre is no longer pink. The chicken temp should reach 165f/74c on a thermometer. Depending on size this should take between 8-12 minutes.
- Place in a bowl and with two forks, shred to desired texture. b) Buffalo Sauce - Most supermarkets/grocery stores will sell Original Buffalo Sauce so feel free to use that if you aren't keen on making Homemade Buffalo Sauce. c) Blue Cheese Sauce - You can use my Homemade Blue Cheese Dip or pick up some store bought blue cheese sauce (usually in the salad dressing/sauce section). If you're not keen on blue cheese you can sub Ranch! d) Sauciness - Personally I love my wraps drowned in both buffalo and blue cheese Sauce. However, to control the sauce content simply add the buffalo sauce little by little into the chicken and stop at desired texture. It's much easier to add more than take it out! At the same time feel free to alter the amount of blue cheese sauce too. e) Additions - These are awesome as they are, but here's some ideas for additions if you fancy something a little extra:
- Heat a little oil in a deep pan, fry each side of the chicken on high just to get some colour.

- Cheese (Monterey Jack works great)
- Bacon
- Spring Onion
- Celery
- Avocado
