Chicken Mixture:
- 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded
- 1 cup buffalo sauce
- 1/2 cup ranch dressing or blue cheese dressing
- Salt and pepper to taste
Cheese Topping:
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 3 green onions, chopped
- Fresh parsley or chives, chopped, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Prepare the Cauliflower: Steam or blanch the cauliflower florets until just tender, about 5-7 minutes. Drain well and pat dry to remove excess moisture.
- Mix the Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, buffalo sauce, and ranch or blue cheese dressing. Add the cauliflower florets, tossing to coat evenly. Season with salt and pepper.
- Assemble the Casserole: Transfer the cauliflower and chicken mixture to the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheeses over the top.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the casserole is heated through.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven and sprinkle with chopped green onions and fresh parsley or chives if desired. Serve hot and enjoy the spicy, creamy goodness!
