For the Chicken

For the Sauce
  • 2 tablespoons Unsalted Butter or ghee for dairy-free
  • 4 ounces Cream Cheese or Greek yogurt to lighten
  • 0.5 cup Buffalo Wing Sauce mild if sensitive to heat
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder or fresh minced garlic
For the Sautéed Veggies
  • 2 stalks Celery diced
For Toppings
  • 1 cup Monterey Jack Cheese shredded, or cheddar/Pepper Jack

Equipment

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Cut the boneless skinless chicken breasts into bite-sized cubes and season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Set aside for about 10 minutes.
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons of avocado oil in a large 12-inch oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat, about 2 minutes.
  3. Add the seasoned chicken cubes to the skillet and sauté for 8-10 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken and set aside.
  4. Lower the heat and melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter in the skillet. Add the diced celery and sauté for about 3 minutes.
  5. Reduce the heat to low and add 4 ounces of cream cheese and ½ cup of buffalo wing sauce. Whisk until smooth, about 2-3 minutes.
  6. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, tossing in the sauce, and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
  7. Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded Monterey Jack cheese over the chicken mixture and cover until melted, about 1 minute.
  8. Garnish with crumbled blue cheese and sliced green onions, and serve warm directly from the skillet.

Notes

Using a non-stick skillet simplifies cooking and cleanup. For optimal juiciness, ensure chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
