Buffalo Chicken and Potatoes
I discovered this recipe a couple of months ago and I love it. My husband, who normally does not like anything resembling a casserole, likes this as well. A couple of tweaks I do...instead of the frozen potatoes, I substitute the canned white potatoes I get at Aldi..or I bake some potatoes in the microwave (part way) and cube them up. My husband eevn suggested using tater tots. I do not usually have Corn Flakes on hand, as neither of us eat them..but I use regular or Panko bread crumbs, and they work just fine. I also cube up the chicken before I put it in the recipe. Makes everything bite sized, and seems to stretch further. I always have enough for us to use for lunches the next day.
