Low Carb, Cheesy Buffalo Chicken Bake

Low carb, trim healthy mama s creamy, cheesy buffalo chicken bake is a super easy recipe.

I debated on whether I should share this recipe. It is so easy, uses basic ingredients, I felt like everyone might already have this recipe tucked away in a recipe tin. Hubby asked me what was for lunch last Saturday. I didn’t have a plan but knew I had a few cans of chicken, cream cheese, and buffalo sauce. Those are the base of this recipe. Canned chicken is a great staple to have for busy days with nothing thawed from the freezer.

Pick flavors your family will like.

I used medium buffalo sauce (I used the great value brand). Since I have someone in my house that doesn’t like heat. If your family loves heat, go bold. I also used dreamfields pasta. Use zoodles, spaghetti squash, or even the palm noodles. I used what I had on hand and that my family would like.

6 ingredients and green onions for a garnish.

This recipe uses just a few ingredients. This is a perfect recipe to keep around for pantry meals. Having a stock of a week’s worth of eating. This last winter in Texas, having these ingredients in my pantry and fridge would have made a huge difference for me. I now keep basics, including canned chicken, so no matter what, we can eat. Don’t save this for recipe for emergencies though. It is so good and everyone loved it, even the one who can’t handle heat.
