Tips
Many Buffalo chicken recipes call for canned chicken and pre-shredded cheese. Shredding the chicken and cheese yourself is a bit more effort but worth it as it cuts out many unhealthy fillers.
Additionally, I've found that pre-shredded cheese can become oiler when cooked (perhaps because it is coated with anti-clumping starches?). Plus, shredding your own cheese/chicken is cheaper!
Directions
1. Preheat Oven to 350 degrees
2. Poach Chicken Breasts for approximately 30 minutes then shred.
While poaching chicken, shred cheddar cheese block. Put 3/4 C of shredded cheese to the side.
3. Mix all ingredients (besides 3/4 C of cheddar) together until well-blended. Transfer to 8x11 pan (or other baking pan).
4. Sprinkle the remaining 3/4 C of cheese evenly on top.
5. Bake in preheated oven for 15 minutes, then Broil for 2 minutes to lightly brown the top of the cheese.
6. Serve with veggies/chips/bread of your choice. It was a hit with celery!
