Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups shredded cooked chicken
- 1/2 cup buffalo sauce
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup cream cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken with buffalo sauce. Mix until the chicken is well coated.
- In another bowl, whisk the eggs, cream cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until smooth.
- Pour the egg mixture into a heated non-stick skillet over medium heat, swirling to form a round pancake shape.
- Cook for about 2-3 minutes until the edges begin to set, then sprinkle half of the mozzarella cheese on one half of the egg pancake.
