For a milder flavor, use a less spicy Buffalo wing sauce, or reduce the amount used.
To add more vegetables, consider adding diced bell peppers or celery along with the onions.
If you don't have blue cheese, ranch dressing makes a delicious substitute for garnish.
Ensure the chicken is cut into uniform sizes for even cooking.
Adjust the amount of mozzarella and blue cheese to your personal preference.

    Absolutely delicious! I used a spicier Buffalo sauce for an extra kick.

  • Charity Glover

    I added some chopped celery and carrots for extra veggies, and it turned out great!

  • Leonard Auer

    The cream cheese makes the sauce so creamy and rich. I'll definitely be making this again!

  • Augusta Quigley

    The quick-release method made the chicken a little dry. Next time, I'll try a natural pressure release.

  • Dexter Sauer

    This recipe is a lifesaver on busy weeknights! My family loves it, and it's so easy to clean up after.
