Whole30 Buffalo Chicken Egg Bake Ingredients

There are only a few simple and common ingredients in this buffalo chicken egg bake. You’ll need eggs, hot sauce, nut milk, the vegetables, chicken, olive oil, and a few spices such as salt, pepper and garlic powder. For the hot sauce, we always keep Frank’s Original on hand, and it works perfectly in this recipe. The nut milk can also be whatever dairy-free milk you prefer. Almond milk, coconut milk or macadamia nut milk work great.

The oil I love and prefer to use in this recipe, and my everyday cooking, is Primal Kitchen’s Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil. It comes in a large 17 fl oz. dark glass bottle, and it’s Certified Non-GMO and Certified Organic. This olive oil is also cold pressed, and NAOAA Certified for both quality and purity, which isn’t something you find in most oils. It’s just a really high quality source of healthy fat and the flavor from their unique blend of Spanish and Tunisian olives can’t be beat.

How to Prepare the Buffalo Chicken Egg Bake Casserole

The first step in making this Whole30 buffalo chicken egg bake is to have cooked and shredded chicken. You can use something like rotisserie chicken, or leftover roasted chicken. If you’re starting off with raw chicken breasts, first you’ll need to bake them. Do this by using 2 chicken breasts, coating them with 1/2 tablespoon of Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil and sprinkling with salt and pepper. Bake on 350 for about 20 minutes. If you chicken breasts are thicker, you may need a bit more time.

Then you’ll shred them once they’re finished. While they’re baking, you can prep the egg mixture. To do this, you’ll add all of the eggs, liquid ingredients and the salt, pepper and garlic powder. Beat these ingredients together with a whisk or fork until the eggs are all combined with the hot sauce, dairy-free milk and spices.

Chop the chicken, green pepper and green onions and then add that into the egg mixture and stir to combine. Take a bit of the Organic Olive Oil and grease a casserole dish. Then you’ll pour the egg and chicken mixture into the dish and pop it into the oven. It will take about 50 minutes to bake, but you’ll want to pull it out of the oven once the casserole is set and the eggs are not runny on the top. This may take less time if you’re using a larger casserole dish, as the egg bake will be thinner in the dish than if you used a smaller dish.

Reheating and Freezing This Buffalo Chicken Egg Bake

This Whole30 breakfast recipe reheats really well. If you’re using it for meal prep, you’ll want to let it cool completely before refrigerating, and then reheat it by putting a slice of it into the microwave for 1 minute or the oven for about 5 (on 350 degrees). This egg bake also freezes really well, and makes for a great meal to have as back up. If you’re freezing in individual slices, cool completely first and then wrap each piece in tin foil or freezer-safe parchment paper. Store it in an airtight container or freezer bag. To defrost and reheat, place a frozen piece into the microwave for 3 minutes.
