A quick and easy party bowl combining spicy buffalo-flavored cookies with tender lemon-herb chicken, perfect for game day or casual gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (about 1–2 lemons)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil (extra virgin preferred)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves, chopped (or 1 tsp dried thyme)
  • 1 tbsp fresh rosemary, finely chopped
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (use gluten-free flour for alternative)
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup buffalo sauce (e.g., Frank’s RedHot)
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions (optional)
  • Ranch or blue cheese dressing, for dipping
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Marinate the Chicken: In a large bowl, combine lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, chopped thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken pieces and toss to coat evenly. Let marinate for at least 15 minutes or up to 1 hour in the fridge.
  2. Prepare the Buffalo Cookies Dough: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. In a separate large bowl, cream softened butter with buffalo sauce until well combined. Gradually add dry ingredients to wet, mixing until just incorporated. Fold in shredded cheddar and green onions.
  3. Shape and Bake the Cookies: Drop tablespoon-sized dough balls onto a parchment-lined baking sheet about 2 inches apart. Flatten slightly. Bake for 12-15 minutes until edges are golden and cookies spring back when lightly pressed. Transfer to cooling rack.
  4. Cook the Lemon-Herb Chicken: While cookies bake, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add marinated chicken and cook, stirring occasionally, until cooked through and lightly browned, about 8-10 minutes.
  5. Assemble the Party Bowl: Arrange baked buffalo cookies on a large serving bowl or platter. Spoon lemon-herb chicken over or alongside cookies. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with ranch or blue cheese dressing.

Notes

Marinate chicken at least 15 minutes for best flavor. Use softened butter (not melted) for cookie dough. Watch cookies closely near end of baking to avoid drying out. Gluten-free and dairy-free substitutions are possible. Cookies can be frozen for up to 2 months. Let cookies cool before adding chicken to maintain texture.
