Print Recipe

A quick and easy casserole combining tender roasted cauliflower, shredded chicken, and a creamy buffalo sauce, topped with melted cheese for a comforting, vegetable-forward meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 medium head cauliflower, cut into florets
  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced
  • ½ cup buffalo sauce
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ¼ cup blue cheese crumbles (optional)
  • 3–4 green onions, sliced
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. Toss cauliflower florets with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 15 minutes, flipping halfway, until just tender and lightly golden.
  3. In a medium bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth. Stir in sour cream and buffalo sauce until well combined.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, combine roasted cauliflower, shredded chicken, and creamy buffalo sauce mixture. Gently fold until evenly coated.
  5. Transfer mixture to prepared baking dish and spread evenly. Top with shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheeses.
  6. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 15 minutes. Remove foil and bake for another 5-7 minutes, until cheese is melted, bubbly, and golden. Optionally, broil for 1-2 minutes for a browner top.
  7. Let casserole rest for 5 minutes. Sprinkle with blue cheese crumbles (if using) and sliced green onions. Serve hot.

Notes

Don’t skip roasting the cauliflower to avoid a watery casserole. Use room temperature cream cheese for a smooth sauce. Shred your own cheese for better melting. Adjust spice level by varying buffalo sauce amount. Let casserole rest 5 minutes before serving to allow sauce to thicken.
