Tami’s notes
Serving size = 1/5 recipe
You can use pre-cooked chicken for convenience, but it's also a great way to use leftover grilled or roasted chicken.
Adjust the buffalo sauce to your preferred level of spiciness. You can add more or less to suit your taste.
Feel free to customize the recipe by adding vegetables like steamed broccoli or sautéed bell peppers for extra flavor and nutrition.
