Easy Creamy Buffalo Chicken Pie

Easy Creamy Buffalo Chicken Pie is a low carb, keto, primal comfort food with paleo options.

I used to enjoy putting buffalo chicken wing meat into mac and cheese, but that is not a healthy option for me now.

So I've been trying to come up with a grain-free, low carb version that is completely macaroni free and sneaks in some veggies as well.

This turned out so much better than I expected. I’m definitely going to have this on the menu often.

It really satisfies the cravings I have for creamy spicy foods. It is not super spicy either, I had made it mildly spicy so the hubby could eat it, and I just added a little extra hot sauce on mine after it was baked. I like the extra spicy!

The Mini bell peppers are just for garnish and a pop of color but can be omitted. And all cheeses can be omitted for paleo or dairy-free. After cooking veggies and chicken, combine with sauce ingredients.

Spoon and press chicken-veggie and sauce mixture into the bottom of ramekins.

Combine crust ingredients.

Once combined, spoon and press crust mixture on top of the chicken layer. Spread and smooth out with the back of a spoon. Lightly press optional mini pepper slices into crust. Bake for 30 or more minutes.

Cool, serve and enjoy!
