These homemade buffalo chicken wraps are excellent. Honey and lime juice help tone down the hot wing sauce for a refreshing zip. They’re perfect for lunch or a light summer meal with a tall glass of ice-cold lemonade. –Priscilla Gilbert, Indian Harbour Beach, Florida

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
1 tablespoon canola oil
