Creamy Buffalo Chicken Cauliflower Casserole Recipe

Ingredients

To make this creamy buffalo chicken cauliflower casserole, you’ll need:

For the Casserole:

  • Cauliflower Florets – 1 large head (or about 4 cups)
  • Cooked Chicken – 2 cups, shredded (rotisserie chicken works great)
  • Buffalo Sauce – ½ cup
  • Cream Cheese – 4 ounces, softened
  • Sour Cream – ½ cup
  • Shredded Cheddar Cheese – 1 cup
  • Shredded Mozzarella Cheese – 1 cup
  • Garlic Powder – 1 teaspoon
  • Onion Powder – 1 teaspoon
  • Salt and Pepper – to taste

For Topping:

  • Green Onions – 2, chopped
  • Blue Cheese Crumbles – ¼ cup (optional)
  • Extra Buffalo Sauce – for drizzling (optional)

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat Your Oven

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.

2. Cook the Cauliflower

Steam or boil the cauliflower florets until tender but not mushy, about 5-7 minutes. Drain well and set aside.

3. Prepare the Creamy Buffalo Sauce

In a large mixing bowl, combine the buffalo sauce, cream cheese, sour cream, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth and creamy.

4. Assemble the Casserole

Add the cooked cauliflower and shredded chicken to the creamy buffalo sauce mixture. Stir until everything is well coated. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.

5. Add the Cheeses

Sprinkle the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheeses evenly over the top of the casserole.

6. Bake the Casserole

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

7. Garnish and Serve

Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Top with chopped green onions, blue cheese crumbles, and a drizzle of extra buffalo sauce if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!

Tips for Success

  • Use Fresh Cauliflower: Fresh cauliflower gives the best texture, but frozen cauliflower can also be used if well-drained.
  • Adjust the Heat: Add more or less buffalo sauce depending on your spice preference.
  • Make It Ahead: Assemble the casserole up to a day in advance and bake it when ready to serve.
