Description
This Buffalo Chicken Cauliflower Bake is a delicious and hearty dish perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 head cauliflower, cut into florets (large)
- 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded

- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Steam or blanch the cauliflower florets until just tender, about 5-7 minutes. Drain well and pat dry to remove excess moisture.

- Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and sprinkle the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheeses over the top.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and the casserole is heated through.
- Remove from the oven and top with chopped green onions and fresh herbs if desired. Serve hot.
Notes
- This dish can be served as a main course or a side dish.
