Creamy Buffalo Chicken Bake
This creamy Buffalo Chicken Bake recipe is made with cream cheese, hot sauce, lean chicken breasts, and cheddar cheese for a delicious and easy dinner that is ready in less than 30 minutes.
Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 4 Chicken breasts boneless, skinless
- Kosher salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons Hot sauce or 1/4 cup buffalo sauce
- 4 ounces Cream cheese softened
- ½ cup Cheddar cheese shredded
- 2-3 Green onions chopped
- 1 tablespoon Parsley freshly chopped
Instructions
- First, preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and lightly spray a casserole dish with cooking oil spray.
- Place 4 Chicken breasts into the casserole dish and season with Kosher salt and pepper on both sides.
- In a small bowl, combine the 2 tablespoons Hot sauce with the 4 ounces Cream cheese and 2-3 Green onions. Add it over the chicken in the dish and mix.
- Coat the chicken well and then top with ½ cup Cheddar cheese.
- Bake at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 20-25 minutes until chicken is cooked through and cheese is melted. Garnish with 1 tablespoon Parsley and more sliced green onions if you like.
- Test the doneness by inserting a meat thermometer into the center of each chicken breast, the temperature should read 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
Notes
- You may use boneless and skinless chicken thighs.
- Instead of hot sauce, I swap it with about 1/4 cup of mild buffalo sauce so my kids don't nag about the minor spice level.
- Lite or fat-free cream cheese will work just fine.
- Fat-free shredded cheese works.
- Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days.
