Description
Creamy Buffalo Chicken Cauliflower Casserole is a dish that brings together bold buffalo flavors, tender cauliflower, and juicy chicken in a creamy, cheesy casserole. It’s perfect for those looking for a low-carb, high-protein meal that still offers all the comfort of a traditional casserole.
Ingredients
- 1 large head of cauliflower, cut into florets
- 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded
- 1 cup buffalo sauce (adjust to taste)
- 1/2 cup ranch dressing or blue cheese dressing
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 3 green onions, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley or chives, chopped, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
2. Steam or blanch the cauliflower florets until just tender, about 5–7 minutes. Drain and pat dry.
3. In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, buffalo sauce, and dressing. Add the cauliflower and toss to coat evenly. Season with salt and pepper.
4. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.
5. Sprinkle shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheeses over the top.
6. Bake for 20–25 minutes until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and the casserole is heated through.
7. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with chopped green onions and optional parsley or chives.
8. Serve hot and enjoy the spicy, creamy goodness.
Notes
Make it extra spicy with crushed red pepper flakes or hot sauce.
Top with crushed pork rinds or crispy fried onions before baking for added crunch.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days—great for meal prep or next-day lunch.
