It’s no secret that I’m obsessed with “cupcake” meals. I love these dishes because they’re extremely easy to make and are portioned controlled for quick grab and go meals. This recipe came about one day when I had made a batch of Instant Pot Buffalo Chicken and wanted to make a fun dish with the leftovers.
