You already know that Buffalo Chicken is a definite favorite in my house!  YUM it's so easy to pack a punch of flavor with buffalo sauce.  So I'm always in the market for a new way to make our favorites - and I stumbled on this recipe - it is definitely a keeper.

I changed things up a bit, trying to make the dish a bit healthier.  If you absolutely do not love yogurt - I promise you won't know it's in there.  I snuck it in.  My husband wouldn't have eaten it if he knew there was yogurt floating in there 🙂  He never knew!
Also, you can change up the heat on this recipe for sure.  More buffalo sauce means more heat.  You know how your family likes to eat.so if you're not one for spicy put less buffalo in - the recipe will still be great!
