Now that winter is on our heels I like to have a few good low carb appetizer recipes on hand for parties. Whether it’s a holiday party, football party or a book club meeting it’s nice to have something low carb to bring along that you know everyone will love.
Case in point are these keto buffalo chicken stuffed mushrooms. I used my standard buffalo chicken dip and stuffed white mushrooms to make the perfect finger food for parties. Even though they are low carb no one will know or care because they are so delicious!
These mushrooms are also very easy to make and have such awesome flavor. They are definitely a party favorite. Best of all 5 of these chicken stuffed mushrooms have just 2 grams of carbs so they are perfect if you are on a low carb diet.
Recipe ingredients I used and substitutions.
Below you can see the simple ingredients I used for this appetizer – cream cheese, canned chicken, hot sauce, garlic cloves, mayonnaise, fresh mushrooms and shredded cheddar cheese.
Canned Chicken Breast
I use canned chicken for my buffalo chicken dip these days because it’s just more convenient to have it on hand in my pantry. You can also use leftover chicken or rotisserie chicken.
Fresh Mushrooms
I use white button mushrooms but I’ve also used baby portobellos. Either one will work for this recipe.
Cheddar Cheese
I would recommend using cheddar cheese and not substitute with other cheeses. You could use a Mexican blend cheese or maybe a Monterey pepper jack but shredded cheddar is the best.
Buffalo Wing Sauce
I used Aldi brand hot sauce because to make it’s the same as Franks Red Hot. If you have a different brand of your favorite hot sauce go ahead and use that if you want.
Other Ingredients
I used fresh crushed garlic but you can also use jarred chopped garlic. Any brand of cream cheese will work as well the mayonnaise. I would not use Miracle Whip or any type of sweet mayo though.
How to make keto buffalo chicken stuffed mushrooms.
Step 1: Preheat the oven to 400°F. Spray a baking sheet or baking dish with nonstick cooking spray and set aside. Or you can add a piece of parchment paper on the cookie sheet.
Step 2: Take out the mushroom stems and using small spoon or melon ball scoop, clean out around the stem to make a little bowl with the mushrooms. Place the mushrooms bowl side down on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 3: Spray the mushroom caps with nonstick cooking spray and place in the preheated oven. Bake mushrooms for 15 minutes. Below is what they look like when they come out of the oven.
Step 4: While the mushrooms are cooking make the buffalo chicken stuffing. In a medium bowl add the drained chicken from the can. Next add softened cream cheese, ¾ of the cheddar cheese, hot sauce, mayonnaise and garlic. Mix well to combine. You can add a little more hot sauce if you want a bit more heat.
Step 5: When the mushrooms are done and have a cooled enough to be handled, stuff the caps with chicken mixture. Then top them with the remaining shredded cheese.
Step 6: Place the baking tray in the oven and cook mushrooms for 15-20 minutes until everything melts and they get golden brown. Let them cool and serve. Cooking times may vary.

If you have leftover buffalo chicken stuffing.
This is my go to buffalo chicken dip and if you have leftover stuffing, you can spoon it into a bowl and microwave for 5 minutes to make a dip. You can also use this to stuff poblano, jalapeno or even sweet bell peppers.
When I just made them again today I had leftover stuffing and filled about half of ramekin. I microwaved it and ate it with celery sticks for lunch!

Can these be stuffed and then freezer to cook at a later time??
Denise says
Hi Christine, I was away and just saw this comment. Yes you can freeze them and bake them at later date. I may take a few more minutes to bake though. I hope you like them!

I love the stuffing. I cleaned out the peppers before the first hard freeze and Denise had extra chicken stuffing which I put on poblano peppers that I had cut in half. Yum!
