Maybe it’s because I am from Texas or maybe it’s just genetics but I love LOVE LOVE spicy food and big flavor. I love the flavors in Buffalo Chicken but I really hate chicken wings. This low carb Buffalo Chicken casserole is hearty, filling, and easy with those great big flavors I love. The chicken is already cooked so it goes together fast, too.
Now, I know that a lot of people use Franks Red Hot sauce for their Buffalo chicken dishes — and that’s fine. I am a Louisiana Hot Sauce girl myself and I prefer it to Franks because it’s a cleaner taste to me and much less salty. You do what you want.
True Confessions. Over the past 2 years I have gained back most of the weight I lost. My thyroid meds have been blitzy, I’ve had a lot of weird eating situations, and sometimes I just get tired of being careful. I had been back on low-carb since Christmas but then my son came into town from Okinawa for the month of March. I sure wasn’t going to pass up opportunities to spend time with him AND eat amazing food, was I?
Of course not.
So, I told y’all on Facebook that I was going to be buckling down after he left and I have been. When you have no thyroid, even if you are on meds, your body doesn’t respond quickly to anything but between low-carb induction and the gym I dropped 4 pound in the last week. Hopefully that’s a trend that will continue.
Food like this is helpful to me.
Don’t try to freeze this low carb Buffalo chicken — the results will be less than wonderful. If you want to make it and have it ahead of time it will keep for several days in the fridge — but if you have the chicken cooked it really does go together fast.
I’ll tell you. This is a big serving and, especially if you are serving a side dish as well, could easily be two servings.
