INGREDIENTS:
- 1 ½ lbs. chicken breast, cooked and shredded (3 heaping cups cooked)
- 1 Tbsp. cooking fat of choice
- 3 cups cauliflower rice, fresh
- 1 cup butternut squash, diced
- 1 small red bell pepper, diced

INSTRUCTIONS:
- Preheat oven to 375ºF. Grease a 9 x 13 casserole dish and set aside.
- In a large pan over medium-high heat, add oil. Once oil is hot, add the cauliflower rice, butternut squash, red pepper, yellow onion, garlic powder, dried parsley, and a dash of salt and pepper. Sauté, stirring occasionally, until onions are translucent and veggies are partially cooked through - about 10-12 minutes. Adjust heat as necessary. Transfer to the casserole dish.
- While veggies are sautéing, in a bowl, combine the buffalo sauce, mayo and eggs.
- In the casserole dish, mix together the veggies, chicken and sauce. Spread out evenly.
- Bake uncovered for 20-25 minutes or until center is set.
- Remove from oven and drizzle with additional buffalo sauce, sliced green onion and black pepper. Serve hot with a salad or side of greens.
