NOTES

  • You can use any leftover chicken you have on hand for this recipe. Be sure to cut into bite-sized pieces or shred before using.
  • You can use sour cream in place of the Greek yogurt.
  • You can use regular hot sauce in place of the Buffalo sauce, such as Frank’s RedHot.
  • In place of the cheddar cheese, you could use mozzarella or Monterey Jack cheese.
  • Cut the cauliflower into bite-sized pieces. Be sure to cut it into smaller pieces if you’re serving this to littles!
  • Use store-bought rotisserie chicken to save time, or try my crockpot shredded chicken.
  • Use room temperature Greek yogurt for the easiest mixing.
  • Freshly shred the cheddar cheese instead of using pre-shredded cheese for the best flavor and melting.

Storage: Store Buffalo chicken casserole in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 2 months.
