If you love anything buffalo flacor and you love cheese, you are going to fall in love with our Buffalo Muenster Chicken Skillet! This is one of Matt's spur of the moment ideas where he had to see it through. Although I did the cooking, he insisted on taking credit for it. I was actually very impressed with this dish and find myself day dreaming about it.
Why we Love One-Pan Chicken Recipes
What's not to love about a one pan recipe?! All the ingredients are combined in one pan and you could serve it up family style. Although I create the buffalo sauce in a separate saucepan, you could technically just add all the components to the chicken and make the clean up even easier. Trust me though, you want to use the exact buffalo sauce recipe I gave you below, it's incredible.

Buffalo Muenster Chicken Skillet
Skillet recipes are great meals to turn to any night of the week. They are quick to put together and can feed a family of two, four or six people! This recipe in particular can be tailored to whatever cheese and hot sauce you have in the fridge.
Although I said the buffalo sauce in this recipe is incredible, and I wasn't joking. I know many of you have a hot sauce preference and I respect that. Just remember that when it comes to chicken skillet recipes it's important to have a little fun and make sure you over do it on the cheese portion hehe.
