Low carb casseroles are a great way to get that comfort food feeling in without derailing your low carb diet. This low carb chicken casserole is loaded with spicy buffalo flavors for a super flavorful and filling dinner.

We'll email this recipe to you, so you can come back to it later!
The new year is here, so I thought I’d pop in with one of my new favorite low carb casseroles! How many of you need some new keto recipes? How about new keto chicken recipes? I’m here for ya.
I don’t know about you, but I ate way too many Christmas cookies over the past month.
Friends and family kept dropping off plate after plate of cookies and treats. I loved every second of it. Until my pants started getting uncomfortably tight.
It’s time to get back on track for me. Exercise. Eating right. That sorta thing.
Ugh.
I love the keto diet, though I do struggle sticking with it. I go in spurts…a few weeks on, a few weeks off.
And okay, sometimes it’s more like a few months off. Who can relate?
Anyway, the biggest key for me staying keto is making foods that my whole family (the non-keto people) will like too. I don’t want to be cooking two dinners, you know?
This buffalo chicken casserole is one of those keto recipes that my whole family loves!
My cheeseburger casserole happens to be another one of those winning recipes, along with my chicken stuffed peppers, low carb meatloaf, and these buffalo chicken meatballs.
Keto has been gaining so much popularity lately. When I started it a couple years ago, it seemed like no one had ever heard of and everyone I told about it was super skeptical (and okay, even a little judgmental.) I’m glad to see it becoming more mainstream.
Tell me about your experience with keto in the comments! I’d love to hear if you’re new to this way of eating or if it’s something that you’ve been doing for a long time.
And, of course, if you try this recipe, I hope you’ll let me know what you think! You can drop a comment below or share a picture on Instagram and tag @bunsinmyoven!

Been on the Keto diet for the first time for 12 days and am loving it. Have been enjoying your bacon cheeseburger casserole for dinner for the last 5 nights and planning to bake this buffalo chicken recipe tonight! Eating delicious food and still down about 10 lbs so far. Thank you for the great recipes.
Karly says
So glad you’re enjoying the diet and the recipes! 🙂 Congrats on your weight loss – that’s great!
Wendy says
for the nutrition facts, are those figures for the entire recipe? Trying to figure out for sure.
Karly says
The nutrition facts are per serving. 🙂
Debbie says

This looks so good!
I have been doing Keto for close to a year now and I found that for me the best thing for helping me stick to it is to avoid all artificial sweeteners. No stevia, no erythritol, none of it. It really helped me to kill my huge massive sweet tooth. Thanks for all the awesome recipes.
Aria says
This looks yummy!I will be doing this for my son and I am sure that they will like this one.Thank you for the recipe.
Karly says
Enjoy! 🙂
lindsay Cotter says
OMG my husband would love this! A casserole that’s low carb and uses Franks sauce. YESSSS!
Karly says
Definitely man approved. 😉
Marcelle/A Little Fish in the Kitchen says
Yum! I don’t follow a strict low carb diet like I did at one time, but I think this dish is comfort food for anybody. 🙂 I have a handful of friends who have had some great weight-loss success on the Keto program last year. I just try to keep everything in moderation these days…but I’m glad Christmas cookie season is over for now because I certainly enjoyed all those sweets alot!
Sue Anderson says
Way, way, way too salty! IF I make it again I will substitute bottled ranch or blue cheese dressing for the dry packet called for. I think that is where the salt came from.
Sabrina says
very nice recipe, I sympathize with the Christmas cookie bombardment syndrome! Good recipe to use to get back on track, and love one that works as a casserole, thank you!
Sarah @Whole and Heavenly Oven says
Yes, yes yes to all the healthy food! Cookies need to take a backseat for at least a little while. LOL. This chicken casserole seriously looks SO cozy and comforting! My family would love it. 🙂
Katherine | Love In My Oven says
Give me all the low-carb options these days – especially if I can have buffalo chicken flavours in there! Sounds delicious!
mira says
Love buffalo chicken! Can’t wait to try this!
Steven says
This recipe is so tempting. But where’s the snappy celery? Got any suggestion for a side or addition?
Karly says
You could definitely stir celery in before baking, should stay fairly crunchy. I’d just serve this with a big green salad. 🙂
Sonja McAllister says
As a native Buffalonian, I recommend serving celery on the side with a nice dish of blue cheese dressing.
Linda says
I wonder how this would be with turkey instead of chicken? I roasted a turkey for NYD and we have tons of leftovers. I love your low carb recipes. They work so well with diabetic diet.
Karly says
I think it would be great! Bet you’ll barely notice the difference. 🙂 Glad to hear you’re enjoying the recipes!
