Ingredients
  

1 medium head of cauliflower, cut into florets

2 cups shredded cooked chicken (rotisserie works great!)

1 cup buffalo sauce (adjust to taste)

1 cup cream cheese, softened

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1/2 cup sour cream

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese (optional, for the topping)

1/4 cup chopped green onions (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish.

    Prepare Cauliflower: Steam the cauliflower florets in a pot of salted water for about 5-7 minutes or until tender. Drain and set aside.

      Mix the Chicken Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, buffalo sauce, softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix until everything is well combined.

        Combine Cauliflower and Chicken Mixture: Gently fold the steamed cauliflower into the chicken mixture until all the cauliflower is well-coated.

          Transfer to Casserole Dish: Pour the cauliflower and chicken mixture into the prepared casserole dish, spreading it evenly.

            Add Toppings: If using, sprinkle the crumbled blue cheese on top of the casserole for a creamy, tangy finish.

              Bake the Casserole: Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until the top is bubbly and golden brown.

                Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven and allow it to cool slightly. Garnish with chopped green onions before serving.

                  Enjoy this creamy, spicy dish on its own or with a crisp side salad for a balanced meal!
