Instructions

1. 1Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces (roughly 1–1.5 inches). Season all over with garlic powder and onion powder.
2. 2Heat the salted butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat until melted and foaming (about 1 minute).
3. 3Working in two batches to avoid crowding, add the chicken pieces and cook 4–5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown on the outside and no longer pink in the center. Transfer the first batch to a plate and repeat with remaining chicken.
4. 4Return all chicken to the skillet and reduce heat to low. Pour the buffalo wing sauce over the chicken and stir constantly for 2–3 minutes until every piece is evenly coated and sauce is heated through.
5. 5While the chicken finishes cooking, cut the celery into sticks and divide into 10 small containers alongside the blue cheese dressing for serving.
6. 6Divide the buffalo chicken evenly into 10 airtight containers while hot, leaving the sauce in the pan to cool slightly before portioning (about 1 minute) to prevent condensation.
7. 7Store containers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat in a microwave at 50% power for 2–3 minutes, stirring halfway through, until warmed through.
