The Dude Diet: Buffalo Chicken Quinoa Bake (and BIG NEWS!) - Domesticate ME
"Buffalo chicken, veggies, quinoa, two cheeses, and lightened up ranch dressing create flavor fireworks in this healthy(ish) whole-grain casserole...."
INGREDIENTS
•
1 cup quinoa

1½ cups low-sodium chicken broth

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

1½ cups cauliflower “rice” (aka very finely chopped cauliflower florets)
•
½ medium yellow onion, minced
•
½ cup finely chopped carrots
•
½ cup finely chopped celery
•
2 cups diced or shredded chicken breast (I used the foolproof method, but feel free to use the meat from a store-bough rotisserie bird.)
•
½ cup Frank’s Red Hot Buffalo Wing Sauce (plus extra for serving)
•
¾ cup grated sharp cheddar cheese
•
¾ cup grated provolone cheese (Gouda is also great!)
•
¼ cup whole-wheat panko breadcrumbs
•
3 scallions, thinly sliced (optional)
•
For the Yogurt Ranch:
•
1½ cups nonfat plain Greek yogurt

•
½ teaspoon kosher salt

¼ teaspoon garlic powder

¼ teaspoon black pepper
