I love buffalo chicken dip. Well, I love pretty much anything buffalo let’s be honest! But because I love buffalo chicken dip so much, I decided that I wanted to create something similar to to it that I could eat as an entire meal! My husband ate almost three servings worth when I made this! This Buffalo Chicken Casserole is creamy, cheesy and low carb comfort food without any guilt.

What You Will Need
- Cooked Shredded Chicken Breasts – I cook my chicken in the crock pot so it is super moist and juicy! I seasoned my chicken with some garlic salt, pepper, and poultry seasoning.
- Cauliflower Rice – I like to make things easy so I just buy the frozen cauliflower rice packages and pop them in the microwave when I am ready to make this dish!
- Cream of Chicken – I used a 10.5 oz. can of low sodium & 95% fat free. You can definitely omit this to lower the carbs even more, but your casserole won’t be as creamy.
- Green Onions – I used one bunch and chopped up the white part of the onions. You can save the dark green parts for garnish.
- Cream Cheese – I used an 8 oz. package of low fat cream cheese. I have had some people tell me that it needs to be full fat to be considered Keto, so use what meets your dietary needs.
- Buffalo Sauce – My favorite is by Sweet Baby Rays.
- Shredded Cheese – I used cheddar, but feel free to switch it up!
How to Make It
- Preheat your oven to 375°F. Spray a 9×13 baking dish with non-stick spray. Cook your frozen cauliflower rice packages according to the package directions in the microwave.
- It doesn’t get easier than this! Simply mix all the ingredients except for the shredded cheese in a large bowl.
- Pour the chicken mixture into your baking dish. Spread the shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the casserole. You can also add additional buffalo sauce if desired.
- Bake for 25 minutes and enjoy! Split this casserole into 8 servings.
How Can I Make This 100% Keto?
This dish is already very low carb, but if you want to make it truly Keto friendly then you can take out the cream of chicken. The dish may not be as creamy, but you can keep the chicken moist by adding some chicken broth.
You can also use full fat cream cheese versus low fat. I personally am not Keto, just carb conscious and like to cut them where I can! I personally prefer the lower calorie and low fat cream cheese but if you are 100% Keto then definitely do the full fat!
Can I Prepare This Ahead of Time?
Yes! You can place everything in your casserole dish, cover it up, and leave it in the fridge to cook later. I usually just go ahead and cook mine though because it reheats in the microwave great and tastes exactly the same. In terms of the chicken, I always prepare my cooked chicken ahead of time by just throwing it in my slow cooker and forgetting about it!
