Buffalo Chicken Cauliflower Casserole
A healthy and delicious twist on classic buffalo chicken, this casserole features roasted cauliflower, creamy cheese, and spicy buffalo sauce.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 head cauliflower, cut into florets
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 0.5 cup buffalo sauce
- 0.5 cup ranch dressing
- 0.25 cup green onions, chopped
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 cups rotisserie chicken, shredded
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded gouda cheese
- 1 tablespoon ranch dressing, for drizzling on top
- 1 tablespoon green onions or chives, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Toss cauliflower florets with olive oil in a baking dish. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Bake the cauliflower until tender, about 20 minutes. Keep an eye on it to avoid overcooking. Lower the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) for the next steps.
- In a medium bowl, mix cream cheese, buffalo sauce, ranch dressing, green onions, and garlic powder until well combined.
- Combine the rotisserie chicken with the roasted cauliflower in the baking dish. Spread the cream cheese mixture on top evenly to ensure every bite is flavorful.
- Sprinkle cheddar and gouda cheese over the top. Bake until the cheese is melted and bubbly, around 20 minutes.
- Allow the casserole to cool for 10 minutes before serving. Drizzle with ranch dressing, garnish with green onions or chives, and serve.
Notes
For a spicier kick, increase the amount of buffalo sauce. You can also add a sprinkle of blue cheese crumbles for extra flavor.
