Buffalo Chicken Casserole
Description
The casserole mixes cooked shredded chicken and riced cauliflower with a creamy blend of cream cheese, blue cheese dressing, eggs, and buffalo wing sauce. Seasoned with salt and enhanced by finely sliced celery and scallions, this mixture is baked until set and topped with shredded cheddar cheese that melts and browns slightly. The baking process melds the flavors and creates a rich, creamy casserole with a slight bite from the buffalo sauce.
The blue cheese elements provide a sharp, tangy counterpoint to the spicy buffalo wing sauce, while the cauliflower rice lends structure and reduces heaviness compared to traditional casseroles. Adding sliced celery on top gives a crisp texture contrast and freshness. The dish is suitable as a main for dinner, delivering protein with flavorful heat and creamy textures.
Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator or frozen, making this a practical meal to prepare ahead. The dish can be garnished with additional buffalo sauce and celery for serving.
Ingredients
- 4 cups chicken shredded, cooked
- 4 cups cauliflower riced
- 8 ounces cream cheese at room temperature
- 1 ½ cups cheddar cheese shredded
- 2 egg whole
- ⅔ cup blue cheese dressing
- ½ cup buffalo wing sauce
- ¼ cup celery thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons scallions chopped
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup blue cheese for the top, crumbles

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375F.
- In a large mixing bowl, add in the cream cheese, blue cheese dressing, eggs, buffalo wing sauce, salt, celery and scallions, then mix until well combined.
- Pour in the cauliflower rice, mix, then add in the chicken and mix well. Pour into a 9″ x 13″ baking casserole dish that’s been sprayed with nonstick spray. Sprinkle the cheddar cheese all over the top and bake 35-40 minutes or until the cheese is slightly golden.
