Ingredients
  

  • 3 C Cooked Chicken diced
  • 1 Cooked Spaghetti Squash about 4 cups worth shredded
  • 8 OZ Cream Cheese
  • 2 C Cheddar Cheese shredded
  • 1 C Celery chopped
  • 1 C Carrots chopped
  • ½ C Wing Sauce I like Steve's Paleogoods
  • ½ C Ranch Dressing I like Primal Kichen
  • 1-2 TBS Hot Sauce optional
  • 1 TBS Garlic Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Paprika
  • ½ C Green Onion sliced

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
  • Add the cream cheese, half the cheddar cheese, wing sauce, ranch, hot sauce, if you are using it, and spices into a bowl.
  • Add the celery, carrots, and diced cooked chicken into the sauce mixture till combined.
  • Next add the shredded spaghetti squash, and mix till coated.
  • Transfer the mixture to a baking dish and top with remaining cheese.
  • Bake for about 30-45 minutes until the cheese is melted, and the sauce is bubbly.
  • Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for about 5-10 minutes.
  • Top with green onions, a drizzle of more ranch, and enjoy it!

Notes

  • Make your spaghetti squash and chicken ahead of time if you can. It will make it easier to handle and toss together.
  • Don’t like spaghetti squash? That’s okay because you can sub in cauliflower rice. Not only will it reduce the carbohydrate count in the casserole, but it adds a little bit of a sweet crunch where the spaghetti squash has more of a baked pasta texture.
  • Want it hotter? Steve’s Paleo Wing Sauce is more smokey than it is hot, so if you want a little bit more heat in your buffalo sauce, I recommend adding a few teaspoons of extra hot sauce. I recommend Siete Traditional Hot Sauce. They do have other flavors, but the traditional sauce I think works best in this recipe.
