How to Make Buffalo Chicken Cauliflower Casserole

Step 1. Prepare a 9×13” casserole dish by spraying it with oil. Preheat your oven to 375F. Grab a large bowl and add the shredded chicken.

Step 2. Add the cauliflower rice.

Step 3. Give everything a good mix.

Step 4. Add the buffalo sauce and cream cheese.

Step 5. Give it another mix to combine all the flavors.

Step 6. Add 1 cup of the cheddar cheese.

Step 7. Give it another stir. This will be for a very thick mix.

Step 8. Add the mix to the casserole dish. Grab a spatula and level everything out.

Step 9. Sprinkle the remaining cup of cheddar cheese on top of the chicken mix.

Step 10. Cover the casserole dish with foil and place it in the oven. Bake for 25 minutes.

Remove the foil and bake for another 10 minutes. This should make the cheese start melting and bubbling.

Step 11. Once it’s ready, take it out of the oven and garnish it with extra buffalo sauce and chopped parsley. Serve hot.
