Who is excited sports are returning... ME! I know it is not what we are used to but it sure is nice to sit around and watch the game with some close friends or family and these buffalo chicken squares are the perfect snack to serve up. They are simple to make and taste amazing! I used my own ranch recipe you can find here to help keep the points low, and if you are not huge on spicy food feel free to lower the amount of franks sauce..they definitely have a nice kick to them. Makes 20 squares at 4 points each on WW.

I made this last night and it was a winner. Both teenage boys and their dad loved it. Pillsbury makes a roll-out crust without the perforations - makes the recipe even that much easier. I made the chicken mixture earlier in the day and pulled it out of the fridge and assembled before dinner. Served with Greek pasta salad. Easy and so so good.

Hi Caroline, that is awesome to hear, so glad they were enjoyed by all, thanks for sharing 🙂
Are you in the U.S? I haven't seen that dough but maybe it isn't available in Canada, I'll look out for it thanks 🙂

Could greek yogurt be a substitute for the cream cheese?
Drizzle
Hi, hmmm in some cases yes, however for these buffalo chicken squares I personally would not use the yogurt but by all means, give it a try
Sidney
What would you serve as a side?? Drawing a blank on a good WW side!

If I was making these as a meal I'd probably pair with a caesar salad, or maybe a lightened-up pasta salad
Jeanne
For freezing, would you wrap each piece in Cling wrap and then place in freezer bags? The recipe looks great but there's just the two of us.
Love your recipes. Thanks!

Hi, I'd probably store them in a container maybe using parchment paper to divide them

Can’t wait to taste it! Coming out of oven know. I split thee recipe in half to make a smaller batch. I wonder though if I rolled the bottom out to thin. Because it over cooked and got pretty brown and once it cooled it was pretty crispy. I’m hoping once the meat cooked it will soften the bottom a little ! Thanks for the recipe. You have awesome recipes!!
Drizzle
Thank you Jen 🙂 I hope you enjoy the buffalo squares they are a favorite of mine 🙂 Hopefully the bottoms were ok
Jen
Yes!!! It all worked out. They were AMAZING!!!! I shared a link on one of my Facebook group WW pages and told everyone to make them! LOL
Tina
Could use a pkg of hidden valley ranch dressing?
