Keto Dinner | Buffalo Chicken Jalapeno Popper Casserole

Jalapenos and buffalo chicken are a marriage of flavors that just had to be done. It’s a flavor explosion that is oozing with rich and delicious cheese, and packed full of spiciness in every bite. Of course – you can’t forget about bacon. Everything tastes better with bacon.

I based this on a quick skillet meal that my girlfriend made me the other night. It was pretty much this, but in a pan – and I knew right then and there I had to make a casserole out of it. Both of us absolutely love buffalo sauce and try to put it on just about everything we can. Spice in general is welcome in this house – and this have a serious kick of delicious and spicy flavors. If you’re not a fan of spice, make sure you de-seed the jalapenos!

Here’s a super easy, yet tasty, recipe for you! Try this Keto Chicken Jalapeno Popper Casserole Recipe! You can make this as spicy or as mild as you want depending on the type of jalapenos you use. If you use fresh jalapenos with the seeds, it will be pretty spicy. Or you can remove the seeds from the jalapenos and it will be a medium spice level. Or, you can use the pickled jalapenos in a jar, and those will be a mild spice. My family doesn’t like meals really spicy so I always use the pickled jalapenos.

You can also add a layer of riced cauliflower and the very bottom of this recipe and make it a complete meal if you want too! The cook time is exactly the same. There tends to be a little water that comes from the chicken and when you add riced cauliflower to the bottom of this recipe, it soaks it up along with all the other flavors perfectly! I usually buy a big bag of riced cauliflower from Costco.
