Keto Stuffed Artichokes
It is always nice when you can have your vegetables and proteins all together in one easy dish. This buffalo chicken stuffed artichoke recipe will definitely accomplish that goal. The artichokes make a perfect bowl to hold the spicy chicken mix, giving you a complete meal that looks as great as it tastes. Of course, as is true with all our recipes, this meal is keto-approved but anyone, on any diet will absolutely love it!
If you have never used fresh artichokes before, you may be a little wary of how to properly prepare this unique vegetable. The first thing to do with a fresh artichoke is to trim the end, removing the majority of the stem so that the artichoke sits flat on a plate. The vegetable will be acting as a bowl for the buffalo chicken so you want it to be a sturdy bowl!
The artichoke is then steamed to soften the leaves and make the meat inside more tender. After the vegetable has softened, it will be easy to pull back the leaves and open the artichoke as if you are helping a flower bloom. The more space between each leaf, the more chicken filling you will be able to fit in the artichoke.

After the artichoke is stuffed with the chicken, topped with the cheese and browned again in the oven, you make look at the beautiful dish and wonder how to eat it. You are not alone! How to eat an artichoke is a very common question as it can be an intimidating vegetable. All you need to do is gently pull a single leaf away from the vegetable. Bite the base of the artichoke and pull the meat out of the leaf with your teeth. Discard the top portion of the leaf as it is typically quite tough. Continue pulling the leaves away, scooping some of the chicken onto the leaf as well so you can enjoy that buffalo taste along with the tender artichoke center.
Speaking of buffalo flavor, the main flavor in our recipe is the buffalo wing sauce that the chicken is tossed with after it cooks. The majority of wing sauces that you find in the grocery store are sugar-free, however, you should always check the label just to be sure. You can always opt to make your own wing sauce using a mix of hot pepper sauce, butter, vinegar, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, and salt. Make up your own recipe or find one online that you can try out. Buffalo sauce is a wonderful keto condiment to have on hand and an instant flavor booster for almost any dish (we love it on chicken, eggs, and even in lettuce wraps!).
We know that this interesting keto recipe is going to be one of your new favorite go-to meals.
