Creamy Buffalo Chicken Cauliflower Casserole. Original recipe adapted with source quantities and workflow.

Follow the cooking flow and check each component at the stated endpoint.

Ingredients are scaled; keep food thickness, spacing, settings and safe endpoints fixed. Timings assume the four-serving batch and specified shortcuts. More food can require additional batches.

## Ingredients

- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken — fully cooked; diced or shredded

- 3 ⅓ cup cauliflower — riced or finely chopped from 1 medium size head

- ⅓ cup buffalo sauce

- 5.3 oz cream cheese — room temperature

- 5.3 oz sharp cheddar cheese — shredded

## Equipment

- Oven

- Baking dish

- Mixing bowl

- Instant-read thermometer

## Cook

Prepare cold sides first. Keep raw-poultry tools separate; use clean serving utensils. Probe more than one thick piece. A timer is not a doneness test.

1. **Mix.** Combine cooked chicken, cauliflower, buffalo sauce, softened cream cheese and three quarters of the cheddar in a large bowl.

2. **Bake.** Transfer to a casserole dish and scatter the remaining cheddar over it. Loosely cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Uncover and bake about 10 minutes more, until bubbling and melted.

## Attention timeline

Stages can overlap; endpoints and appliance behavior override the estimate.

## Nutrition per serving

Calories: 437 kcal; protein: 37.0 g; total carbs: 7.0 g; fiber: 2.0 g; net carbs: 5.0 g

Publisher estimate per original portion; proportional ingredient scaling preserves that portion.

Known allergens for these plates: milk. Check product labels and cross-contact.

## First-cook checks and limits

- Source total 50 min differs from 20 min prep plus 35 min cook. Chicken is pre-cooked.

- Ingredient quantities are scaled from 6 original portions to four portions. Fractions of whole items may need weighing or dividing after preparation. Larger batches need extra cooking space or batches; keep thickness and endpoint checks.

- Adapted from deliciouslittlebites.com. This adaptation has not been kitchen-tested.

- The publisher’s headline time does not cover every step in the method; no complete elapsed-time estimate is reported.

- Safe doneness checks are added to the publisher method; timers alone do not establish doneness.

## Leftovers

Refrigerate in shallow containers within two hours, or one hour above 90°F. Use within 3–4 days or freeze; reheat to 165°F. Keep cold greens and yogurt separate.
