- 1 medium head cauliflower, cut into florets
Protein
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced
Sauces & Condiments
- 1/2 cup buffalo sauce
Dairy
- 1 1/2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar or a blend works best)
Instructions
- Prepare the Cauliflower: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Cut the cauliflower into bite-sized florets and steam or boil them for about 5 minutes until just tender but not mushy. Drain well and pat dry.
- Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the steamed cauliflower, cooked chicken, buffalo sauce, and half of the shredded cheese. Stir until everything is evenly coated and mixed.
- Assemble the Casserole: Transfer the mixture into a greased baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese on top.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and the cheese is melted and lightly golden on top.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your spicy, cheesy buffalo chicken cauliflower casserole!
Notes
- You can use rotisserie chicken to save time.
- Adjust the amount of buffalo sauce depending on your spice preference.
- For extra creaminess, add a few tablespoons of cream cheese or ranch dressing to the mixture before baking.
- Serve with celery sticks or a side salad for a complete meal.
- Ensure the cauliflower is well-drained to avoid sogginess in your casserole.
