Description

Easy buffalo chicken cauliflower bake with veggies, coconut milk, and gluten-free options. A creamy, spicy one-pan meal perfect for meal prep.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 3-4 cups cooked and shredded chicken (see note)
  • 1 large medium-head cauliflower, cut into 1-2 inch pieces
  • 1 medum shallot, minced
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 8.5 oz bottle of Primal Kitchen Buffalo Sauce
  • 1 8oz can unsweetened coconut milk
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon each salt and black pepper
  • 1/2 red bell pepper, minced or small diced
  • 4 scallions, thinly sliced
  • optional: 1 jalapeno, thinly sliced


Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425. Set aside a 10×6 or so baking dish.
  2. Combine all ingredients (minus 1/2 of the sliced scallions and jalapeno) in a large mixing bowl. Using a large spoon or tongs, toss everything together. When combine, add into your baking dish.
  3. Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and cook for 8 minutes or until it is slightly browned on top and it’s bubbling.
  4. Remove from the oven and garnish with remaining scallions and jalapenos (if using).

Notes

  • If you don’t have precooked chicken, I like to use 2 chicken breasts and 2-4 chicken thighs (all boneless). Preheat your oven to 425. Drizzle 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1.2 teaspoon each salt and pepper and 1 teaspoon garlic powder on top. Mix to coat the chicken. Bake on a sheet tray for 18 minutes. Remove from the oven to let cool slightly. When you are able to pull the chicken – shred into bit sized or a little larger pieces. Place in a mixing bowl.
  • If you need to use broil at the end to brown the top of the chicken and cauliflower mixture, do so in 2 minute intervals. Make sure you set a timer or stand there to watch it.
