Instructions

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Season the chicken pieces with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika, placing them in a large bowl.
Add the chicken to the hot skillet and cook for 6 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through.
Lower the heat and mix in the buffalo sauce and butter. Stir until the butter is melted and the chicken is coated. Simmer for 2 to 3 minutes until slightly thickened.

Feel free to adjust the spiciness of the buffalo sauce according to your taste.
This dish can be easily modified by using different proteins like tofu or tempeh for a vegetarian option.
