INGREDIENTS:
- 2 cups of shredded chicken breast shred
- Four big eggs
- ½ cup almond flour
- ½ cup mozzarella cheese
- One tbsp. chopped chives

- ¼ cup unsalted butter
- ⅓ cup buffalo hot sauce
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- Black pepper
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- Salt
- ¼ teaspoon paprika
- ¼ cup cream cheese
INGREDIENT NOTES:
CHICKEN BREAST:
- Shredded chicken breast retains the buffalo sauce’s flavor flawlessly in addition to adding lean protein. We have to properly cook the chicken and finely shred it for even mixing and a tender texture. Leftover or rotisserie chicken works well.
ALMOND FLOUR:
- The squares are low in carbohydrates and have structure because of the almond flour. It provides the light & nutty taste that stabilizes the hot sauce. Coconut flour absorbs too much moisture, so stay away from it.
MOZZARELLA CHEESE:
- The mushy, melty quality that mozzarella cheese produces helps to hold the mixture. It improves the creamy texture and counterbalances the sharpness of the cheddar. The finest keto outcomes come from using full-fat mozzarella.
CREAM CHEESE:
- The creamy, acidic bite of cheddar cheese enhances the taste. It helps get that golden top when baked. Shred it fresh for a better texture and melt.
BUTTER:
- Butter keeps the squares from drying out and adds taste and moisture. Utilize unsalted butter to add the salt as we preferred. Let it melt before combining it with the wet ingredients.
BUFFALO HOT SAUCE:
- Buffalo hot sauce provides the dish’s distinctive spicy-tangy flavor. Use a sauce like Frank’s Red Hot that doesn’t contain any added sugar for keto compliance.
GARLIC POWDER:
- Garlic powder offers a delicate, savory depth without dominating the buffalo flavor. It complements the cheeses and chicken nicely. Use fresh garlic if you like your garlic stronger.
ONION POWDER:
- The warm, subtle sweetness of onion powder rounds off the spice. It improves the balance of flavors without adding carbohydrates.
PAPRIKA:
- The squares get color and a little smokiness from the paprika. Paprika nicely accompanies the buffalo sauce spice.
SALT & PEPPER:
- The addition of salt and pepper unifies all the flavors and adds to the dish’s depth. Adjust to taste since the cheese and sauce already provide some salt.
CHIVES:
- A fresh garnish of chopped chives provides a slight taste of onions & color. Sprinkle for presentation and a little additional zing before serving.
