Follow These Steps to Keto Perfection

1. Prep the Chicken
   If you’re using raw chicken, cook it first. You can boil, bake, or sauté it until fully cooked, then shred it into bite-sized pieces.
2. Mix the Sauce
   In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and buffalo sauce. Stir until well blended and creamy.
3. Combine Ingredients
   Add the shredded chicken, cheddar cheese, mayonnaise, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper to the bowl with the sauce. Mix everything together until the chicken is well-coated.
4. Heat It Up
   In a skillet over medium heat, add the buffalo chicken mixture. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until everything is heated through and the cheese is melted and gooey.
5. Serve and Enjoy
   Remove from heat and garnish with chopped green onions or parsley if desired. Serve it over a salad, in lettuce wraps, or enjoy it straight from the skillet!
