How to make sheet pan buffalo chicken

The first step is to mix together the buffalo sauce. Rather than buying a store-bought buffalo sauce it’s easy to just make your own homemade buffalo sauce so that you can avoid the added sugar and other processed ingredients you’d find in a store-bought sauce.

For the Buffalo Chicken sauce you will need:

 Crystal Hot Sauce- I prefer the flavor of crystal hot sauce because its 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.

Salt- I always recommend using Pink Himalayan salt because it’s packed with more minerals and less processed unlike your typical table salt

Garlic powder

• You can add a few dashes of cayenne pepper if you want a little extra kick 

Kerry Gold unsalted grass-fed Butter- The quality of any animal products is key to overall health. When it comes to butter I highly recommend reaching for grass-fed butter, which you can usually find at almost all grocery stores.

You can also check out my complete list of foods you do and don’t need to buy organic, so you know which foods should be your top priority to buy organic and which foods you don’t need to worry as much about buying organic.

So you will simply combine all the buffalo sauce ingredients and after cutting the chicken thighs into bite-size pieces toss in the buffalo sauce and then spread evenly on one half of the sheet pan

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.

I’m a pretty lazy cook so I buy the bag of broccoli already chopped into florets to eliminate another step and make meal prepping even easier.

For the Avocado oil, and all oils I use for cooking, I use Primal Kitchen because its a brand I love and trust the quality of their oils and sauces

For this recipe you will only need 1 1/2 tablespoons of the mixture over to sprinkle over, so I would save the remaining ranch seasoning for another time.

You’ll spread the broccoli evenly over the other half of the sheet pan next to the buffalo chicken and bake for 15-17 minutes.

How to Meal Prep Your Buffalo Chicken and Broccoli Lunches

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.

For my clients, I always suggest keeping meal prep super easy by doing sheet pan, crockpot and other easy recipes like this one. If you start trying to prep up extensive menus each week you will get tired of doing it and eventually get burnt out on spending every Sunday tied up in the kitchen.

Keep your meal prep as simple and quick as possible!
