    Buffalo Chicken Breast Bake

    Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

    This Buffalo Chicken Breast Bake is an easy, healthy, and gluten-free buffalo chicken style casserole!

    It is the perfect meal for football Sunday, giving you all those buffalo wing flavors... but as a buffalo chicken casserole

    I prefer to use a mild sauce to keep the heat down and adding either cream cheese or ranch at the end helps to cool down the spice.

    All you need to do is place all ingredients in a baking dish, stir, and bake.

    Buffalo Casserole Dish

    What do you need:

    • 1 cup quinoa
    • 1 cup buffalo sauce: (I prefer the brand The New Primal) and use mild!
    • 1 cup chicken broth
    • ½ cup diced celery
    • ½ cup chopped or shredded carrots
    • 1 bag cauliflower rice
    • 3 large chicken breasts cut into 1 inch chunks: or use cooked shredded chicken!

    Toppings: chives, cream cheese or ranch

    To scale recipe: simply double all ingredients

    Substitutions:
    to make it vegetarian: try using large cauliflower florets rather than chicken and use veggie broth

    If you wanted to make this a paleo buffalo chicken casserole, use fresh cauliflower rice or cooked spaghetti squash instead of quinoa.
