Buffalo Chicken Stuffed Mushrooms are the perfect low-carb KETO friendly appetizer to make when entertaining with family and friends. The entire appetizer can be made ahead of time and baked when ready to serve within a half hour.
We love buffalo sauce in my house. My husband loves any type of Stuffed Mushrooms. Another one of his favorites are my Zucchini Cream Cheese Baked Mushrooms.
So I had this brilliant idea to use up a little bit of leftover rotisserie chicken and make Buffalo Chicken Stuffed Mushrooms for him. He loved them! I think guest would be fooled by just looking at them. What is so special about these mushrooms? Then they take their first bite and BAM! They have no idea what hit them. Looks can be deceiving, can’t they?
Plump mushroom caps filled with decadent cream cheese, bleu cheese, and cheddar cheese along with juicy shredded rotisserie chicken and buffalo sauce! Lots of buffalo sauce. Rich and creamy and lets face it not on the healthy super bowl recipe list. But I feel that everything should be in moderation. You can indulge in something rich and creamy and then balance it by eating something baked and full of seasoning. I mean who resist these Buffalo Chicken Stuffed Mushrooms?

Tips & Tricks
Here are my favorite tips and tricks I use whenever I’m making stuffed mushrooms.
- Servings – Depending on how many mushrooms you stuff will depend on how many servings. I like to think two mushrooms per person that yields about 6 servings.
- Make Ahead – Prep these stuffed mushrooms up to a few hours ahead of time. Then pop them in the oven before your guest arrive!
- Rotisserie Chicken – I also love to use a cooked rotisserie chicken to save time for so many recipes. That goes for this recipe too!
