Ingredients for Low Carb Buffalo Chicken Meal Prep

This recipe keeps things simple while still delivering bold buffalo flavor. Using clean, minimal ingredients makes it easy to prep and customize.

Main ingredients:

Boneless, skinless chicken breast or thighs
Broccoli florets
Olive oil or avocado oil
Salt and pepper

For the sugar-free buffalo sauce:

Hot sauce (I prefer Crystal Hot Sauce because it’s less of an overpowering vinegar taste)
Bragg's Raw Organic Apple Cider Vinegar- Bragg’s is a good quality brand and is one of my go-to brands for sauces, vinegar, and other Keto-friendly cooking essentials.
Butter or ghee
Garlic powder

The sauce is what brings everything together—rich, spicy, and completely sugar free.

How to make sugar-free homemade ranch seasoning

There are ranch seasonings you can buy at the grocery store, but they usually have added sugar and making your own, homemade ranch seasoning is easy.

In a small bowl you’ll combine the parsley, chives, garlic powder, onion powder, dried dill, salt, and ground black pepper, toss the broccoli florets in the avocado oil.

Meal Prep Tips for the Week

This dish is ideal for prepping ahead and enjoying throughout the week. It reheats well and maintains flavor and texture.

Once you’ve baked the chicken and broccoli you will evenly divide the chicken and broccoli between 4 meal prep containers. I use these glass meal prep containers. Since you’ll be reheating your meals in a microwave its a really good idea to get glass meal prep containers.

Storage:

Refrigerate for up to 4 days
Reheat in microwave or skillet
