  1. I’m a buffalo chicken fanatic, but I never thought about pairing it with mashed potatoes. I bet it sounds really good. I have a Costco score of blue cheese,so I’m set. Thanks!

  2. This sounds amazing! I never thought to mix the two together but it sounds like a match made in heaven.

  3. This is the perfect solution for the leftover mashed potatoes from Christmas dinner. Fixing it tonight and I’m sure my guys will love it!

  4. This looks fantastic! It’s going on the menu soon. Not a blue cheese fan but I think I’ll use ranch dressing and some mozzerella. Thanks!

  5. Oh my word! I made this last night for dinner, because my hubby is a HUGE blue cheese lover! This got rave reviews from him!! I will definitely make this again ;o)

  6. I’m thinking this will become a regular in our house, I tweaked it a bit I added a sm nonfat plain greek yogurt to the potatoes and a half packet of Ranch Powdered Dressing and 1/3 cup whole milk. We skipped the blue cheese in lieu of the ranch potatoes. Thanks so much for this easy meal.

    1. I think Tricia calls the chicken the chicken mixture in the directions above. And the chicken should be cooked prior. There’s a link in the ingredients under cooked chicken if you want a quick way to cook it.
