Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/2 cup buffalo sauce (check for low-carb options)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 cups cauliflower rice
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
- 1/4 cup celery, diced (optional for crunch)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a bowl, mix the buffalo sauce, olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
- Place the chicken breasts in a baking dish and pour the buffalo sauce mixture over them, ensuring they are well coated.
- Bake the chicken for 25-30 minutes, or until fully cooked and no longer pink in the center. Let it rest for 5 minutes before shredding.
