Well, you’re in luck. Your fairy tale is now a reality! Enter: this casserole. Spaghetti squash, buffalo sauce, chicken breast, carrots, onions, garlic. INTO IT.

The Perfect Make-Ahead  Buffalo Chicken Casserole Meal

This dish is a perfect “make ahead” meal that can be taken to work for lunch or eaten throughout the week for dinner. Ryan and I love to pre-make it on Sunday and eat it for dinner during the week with a dollop of Primal Kitchen Mayo on top. So tasty!

Easily Customizable Chicken Casserole

As a note, feel free to play around with the proportions of spaghetti squash, chicken, and buffalo sauce. This recipe is my personal preference, but the primary ingredients can be altered a bit. If you like spicy food or are a big fan of buffalo sauce, I’d suggest increasing the buffalo sauce to 1 cup.

    While delicious, and something we make often, I think you could add a more accurate cooking time. It’s pretty deceiving to a first time reader to say this only has 15 minutes of prep. Not many people are going to already have a cooked and shredded spaghetti squash just laying around. Cooking the squash adds another 40 minutes to bake in the oven beforehand. Maybe add a comment about cooking your squash the day before in anticipation or something? Start to finish with all the prep this is closer to a 1.5-2 hour recipe.
    Just some feedback I thought I’d share to make this clearer for others 🙂 We love the recipe, but just know that it will take a long time if I don’t start the squash earlier in the day, which is not always possible when working.

    What is the best way to keep this mild or take the heat down if it is too hot for some?

      I would use less buffalo sauce.

    Can I use egg substitute or other ingredient if someone has egg allergy?

      I’ve never tried an egg substitute in this recipe, but a flax egg may work! Note that the nutrition information will change if you do this. Let me know if you try it out!

      Hey Kelsey! If you have a can of chickpeas lying around three tablespoons of aquafaba, which is the water that the chickpeas sit in, is equivalent to about one whole egg! I use it when I make gluten/diary/egg free muffins and it works great!!
