We love buffalo chicken… But I don’t love how bad it is for you. Rachel Ray has had some great recipes using the flavor of buffalo wings and making it a little less guilty. I’ve already made Buffalo Chicken Soup, and so why not try Rachel’s Buffalo Chicken Chili.

It was feeling like winter earlier this week in Central Texas. No better time to make chili. I made a red chili not too long ago and remembered having white chicken chili when we lived in Minnesota. So this is my version using Hatch green chile peppers (which are a favorite among most in Central [...]

2 Chicken Breast, cooked & cut into bite sized pieces
2 premade Pizza Crusts (I used Boboli personal sized)
1 cup prepared low-fat [...]
