Creamy Buffalo Chicken Casserole

This Buffalo Chicken Casserole is undoubtedly so creamy and comforting. The best part is of course the Ranch Buffalo dressing on top. It brings the perfect heat and creaminess to this recipe. This is a perfect Whole 30 and Paleo recipe for dinner.

Buffalo Chicken Casserole with Cauliflower

This Buffalo Chicken Casserole uses small Cauliflower florets instead of Cauliflower rice. Sure you can use Cauliflower rice. But I like to use fresh Cauliflower for this recipe. For one thing, it gives a chunky bite to this casserole and feels like Mac and Cheese.

And secondly, Cauliflower Rice makes this Casserole way too watery and moist. So, it's always easy to use Fresh Cauliflower which is cut into bite-sized chunks and resembles Elbow Macaroni Noodles.

A perfect weeknight dinner recipe

This Keto Buffalo Chicken Casserole makes for a great weeknight dinner. I like things a little comforting and quick especially on busy weeknights. You can use Rotisserie Chicken as well or precooked Shredded Chicken for the recipe. Honestly, I just use leftover Chicken Breasts. I just chop them up and toss them with the sauce ingredients and dump them together until baked to perfection.

That's what I love about this recipe. A basic dump and forget dinner which is always a family favorite.
