Notes
Tips and Techniques for the Best Creamy Buffalo Chicken Cauliflower Casserole
  • Setting the cream cheese out to come to room temperature an hour before you begin will make it easier to combine all of the ingredients.
  • Cut the chicken into bite size cubes and cook in a skillet with olive oil until just done through, or use an Instant Pot, or use leftover or rotisserie chicken to save time.
  • It is best to shred the sharp cheddar cheese from a block rather than buying a bag of pre-shredded cheese which contains a starch and doesn't melt as well.
  • I recommend using fresh cauliflower, when possible. Using frozen may give you a runnier sauce.

How to Store Creamy Buffalo Chicken Cauliflower Casserole
