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.

      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!!
