Description

A flavorful, low-carb, Whole30-friendly casserole featuring shredded chicken, spicy jalapeños, cauliflower rice, and creamy buffalo sauce for a hearty, nutritious meal.


Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked shredded chicken breast
  • 2 cups cauliflower rice
  • 2 jalapeños, diced (seeds removed for less heat)
  • 1/2 cup diced onion
  • 1/2 cup diced red bell pepper
  • 1 cup shredded broccoli
  • 1/2 cup coconut cream
  • 1/3 cup buffalo sauce
  • 1/4 cup ranch dressing or 1 tbsp ranch seasoning
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine shredded chicken, cauliflower rice, diced jalapeños, onion, red bell pepper, and broccoli.
  3. Add coconut cream, buffalo sauce, ranch, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix until everything is evenly coated.
  4. Transfer mixture to a greased baking dish and spread evenly.
  5. Bake for 45 minutes, until casserole is heated through and slightly golden on top.

Notes
