Frugal tip for this buffalo chicken quesadilla recipe:
Do you need to stretch your meat budget? Did extra guests or friends end up staying for dinner? I have a tasty trick that will make the chicken feed a crowd.
You can put rice in the mixture to really stretch the meal. Spanish rice is really delicious. I usually keep rice in the freezer.
This is very handy if extra guests show up or you have some of the kid’s friends over you didn’t expect. Just grab that rice out of the freezer and add to the chicken mixture and you will have enough to feed everyone!
Another money saving tip is to use chicken thighs instead of chicken breasts. Or you can use a little of both.
We have actually used both and it was amazing. The buffalo sauce and cheese blend to make a delicious sauce. The chicken was just as amazing even though we used both types of chicken.
Saving money and feeding a large family or crowd is possible while enjoying great food.

Very good. Cooked this for a finicky teenager. She liked it but will probably only eat one. But who cares I will eat it for lunch with low carb tortillas and celery sticks. Perfect for keto.
