Cheesy Buffalo Chicken Divan

You’ll see a lot of buffalo chicken recipes floating around for the ketogenic diet because the base ingredients are zero carb: hot sauce and butter! But you aren’t likely to find one like this low carb buffalo chicken divan, which spices up traditional chicken divan which traditionally uses canned soup, and instead transforms it into a creamier version using cream cheese. Rotisserie chicken is shredded for faster prep time, but you can also bake and shred two large chicken breasts.
