I am in LOVE with this ONE-DISH Cajun Buffalo Chicken with Crispy Green Beans! Super EASY and only 5 minutes to prep, it is perfect for family weeknight meals!
This meal was created one night when my husband was craving a low-carb, spicy (but not TOO spicy) dinner. I did a quick survey of my pantry and fridge and Cajun Buffalo Chicken with Crispy Green Beans was born!
The chicken bakes up moist and delicious with a little bit of heat from the Cajun seasoning, while the green beans get beautifully roasted and tender crisp. Then this dish gets ramped up with your classic buffalo chicken flavors: Frank’s Red Hot Sauce, feta or blue cheese crumbles, and cool ranch dressing. To keep things healthier, I use a Greek yogurt ranch dressing. Cajun Buffalo Chicken with Crispy Green Beans looks and tastes FANTASTIC!
I hope you enjoy this dish as much as we do!
