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 and toss 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 – Place in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, 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!

Notes

Make It Extra Spicy – Add crushed red pepper flakes or extra buffalo sauce for more heat.
Add Some Crunch – Top with crushed pork rinds or crispy fried onions before baking for extra texture.
Storage – Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
Keto-Friendly Option – Ensure the buffalo sauce and ranch dressing are low-carb for a fully keto dish.
