Broiled Tilapia Parmesan

30 min

• 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese

• 1/4 cup butter, softened

• 3 tablespoons mayonnaise

• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

• 1/4 dried basil

• 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

• 1/8 teaspoon onion powder

• 1/8 teaspoon celery salt

• 2 pounds tilapia fillets

1. Preheat your oven's broiler. Grease a broiling pan or line pan with aluminum foil.

2. In a small bowl, mix together the Parmesan cheese, butter, mayonnaise and lemon juice. Season with dried basil, pepper, onion powder and celery salt. Mix well and set aside.

Buffalo Chicken Wraps

30 min

• 1 tablespoon butter

• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

• 1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into bite-size pieces

• 1/4 cup hot sauce

• 4 flour tortillas

• 2 cups shredded lettuce

• 1 celery stalk, diced

• 1/2 cup blue cheese dressing (or other)

1. Heat the vegetable oil and butter over medium-high heat. Place the chicken in the pan and cook until the chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear (about 10 minutes). Remove the pan from the heat, then pour the hot sauce over the cooked chicken and toss to coat.

2. Lay out the flour tortillas and divide the chicken evenly among the tortillas. Top the chicken with lettuce, celery, and blue cheese dressing. Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll the wrap burrito-style. Now admire your artistic handiwork!
