Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- 1/2 cup buffalo sauce (adjust to taste)
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Garnish
- Green onions for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare it for baking the casserole.
- Mix ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded cooked chicken, buffalo sauce, heavy cream, softened cream cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until all the ingredients are well incorporated and the mixture is smooth.
- Prepare baking dish: Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking and transfer the chicken mixture into it. Evenly spread the mixture in the dish for uniform cooking.
- Add cheese topping: Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the chicken mixture, which will melt and create a deliciously bubbly crust during baking.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes until the cheese topping is melted, golden, and bubbly throughout.
- Garnish and serve: Remove from oven and optionally garnish with chopped green onions for added freshness and a mild onion flavor. Serve hot and enjoy your Keto Buffalo Chicken Casserole!
Notes
- You can adjust the buffalo sauce amount to make it milder or spicier according to your taste.
- Use rotisserie chicken as a convenient option to save time cooking the chicken.
- For an extra crispy top, broil the casserole for 2-3 minutes at the end of baking, watching carefully to prevent burning.
- This casserole pairs well with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh green salad to keep the meal keto-friendly and balanced.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.
