Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 4 cups cauliflower florets
- 1 cup buffalo sauce (adjust to taste)
- 8 oz cream cheese
- 1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Heat a splash of olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Cook the boneless chicken breasts until golden brown on both sides, about five minutes per side. Remove from heat and let rest before shredding into bite-sized pieces.
- On a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, toss cauliflower florets with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Roast in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes until golden brown.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken, roasted cauliflower, buffalo sauce, cream cheese, and half of the shredded cheddar cheese. Stir well until evenly coated.
- Transfer the mixture to a greased casserole dish and top with remaining cheddar cheese. Bake for about 25-30 minutes until bubbly and golden.
- Allow to cool slightly before serving. Drizzle with additional buffalo sauce if desired.
