Buffalo Chicken Jalapeno Popper Casserole - Keto Recipes


Jalapenos and buffalo chicken are a marriage of flavors that just had to be done. It’s a flavor explosion that is oozing with rich and delicious cheese, and packed full of spiciness in every bite. Of course – you can’t forget about bacon. Everything tastes better with bacon.
I based this on a quick skillet meal that my girlfriend made me the other night. It was pretty much this, but in a pan – and I knew right then and there I had to make a casserole out of it. Both of us absolutely love buffalo sauce and try to put it on just about everything we can. Spice in general is welcome in this house – and this have a serious kick of delicious and spicy flavors. If you’re not a fan of spice, make sure you de-seed the jalapenos!

P.S. Don’t forget to serve your meal up with a delicious piece of crispy chicken skin!
A warning in advance: try not to add too much salt and pepper to the filling mixture until you’ve tasted it with the hot sauce. The hot sauce itself is relatively salty and will usually balance out the dish on its own.
This makes 6 servings of Buffalo Chicken Jalapeno Popper Casserole. Each serving is 782 Calories, 66.97g Fats, 4.59g Net Carbs, and 38.61g Protein.
The Preparation
  • 6 small Chicken Thighs

  2. Once your timer hits 20 minutes, start on the filling. Chop 6 slices of bacon into pieces and put into a pan over medium heat. Once bacon is mostly crisped, add jalapenos into the pan.
  3. Once jalapenos are soft and cooked, add cream cheese, mayo, and frank's red hot to the pan. Mix together and season to taste.
  4. Remove chicken from the oven and let cool slightly. Once they are cool enough, remove the skins from the chicken.
  5. Lay chicken into a casserole dish, then spread cream cheese mixture over it, then top with cheddar and mozzarella cheese.
  6. Bake for 10-15 minutes at 400F. Broil for 3-5 minutes to finish. Optional: Top with extra jalapenos before you broil.

Zinedine Zidane confirmed as new Real Madrid manager

Zinedine Zidane is back as Real Madrid manager, signing a contract until June 30, 2022. Shock reports from Spain emerged on Monday afternoon that Zidane had agreed to take over from Santiago Solari at the Bernabeu. Los Blancos have suffered a nightmare March with defeats to Barcelona in the Copa del Rey semi final and La Liga, leaving them 12 points off the top. And when they lost 4-1 to Ajax in their Champions League last-16 second leg, there was no way back for Solari. Sunday’s 4-1 win against Valladolid did nothing to save his job. But now, Zidane is back at the helm just 10 months after leaving the club. The Frenchman led Real to three consecutive Champions League titles before announcing his decision to leave. But when he left, Zidane hinted that he could return one day. “Of course, I could return, I’ll always be near to this club as it’s close to my heart,” he said back in May. He probably didn’t expect it to be quite so soon, though. A statement
