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.
