This Creamy Buffalo Chicken Cauliflower Casserole is a low-carb, keto-friendly dish packed with bold buffalo flavor, tender chicken, and roasted cauliflower, all coated in a creamy, cheesy sauce. It’s perfect for meal prep, game day, or a cozy weeknight dinner.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 large head of cauliflower, cut into florets
  • 2 cups cooked shredded chicken (rotisserie works well)
  • 1 cup buffalo sauce
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup ranch dressing (or blue cheese dressing)
  • 1/4 cup green onions, chopped (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Prepare cauliflower: Steam or boil the cauliflower florets for 5-7 minutes until slightly tender. Drain and set aside.
  • Mix the sauce: In a large bowl, mix cream cheese, buffalo sauce, ranch dressing, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  • Combine ingredients: Add shredded chicken and cauliflower to the sauce, stirring until everything is evenly coated.
  • Assemble the casserole: Transfer the mixture to a greased 9×13-inch baking dish. Top with mozzarella and cheddar cheese.
  • Bake: Place the casserole in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, until bubbly and golden brown on top.
  • Garnish and serve: Sprinkle with green onions and parsley before serving.

Notes

  • You can swap ranch dressing with blue cheese for a tangier flavor.
  • Add cooked bacon bits for extra crunch and smoky flavor.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
