Ingredients
Scale
1 large head of cauliflower, cut into florets (about 5 cups)
2 cups cooked shredded chicken (rotisserie works great)
3/4 cup buffalo wing sauce
4 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
Salt and pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss cauliflower florets with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast on a baking sheet for 20-25 minutes until golden and tender.
- While cauliflower is roasting, melt cream cheese in a large bowl (microwave or stovetop). Stir in buffalo sauce, garlic powder, and onion powder.
- Add shredded chicken to the sauce and mix well.
- When cauliflower is done, fold it into the chicken and buffalo mixture.
- Transfer everything to a greased 9×13-inch baking dish. Top with cheddar and mozzarella.
- Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 20 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and lightly golden. Broil for 2-3 minutes if desired.
- Let it rest a few minutes before garnishing with parsley and serving.
