Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 6 cups cauliflower florets
  • 3 cups shredded fully cooked chicken
  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1/2 cup Buffalo-style hot sauce
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1/2 cup diced celery
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Method
 

  1. Heat the oven to 400°F and grease a 3-quart baking dish.
  2. Steam the cauliflower for 5 minutes, until barely tender, then spread it on a clean towel and pat it thoroughly dry.
  3. Beat the cream cheese, hot sauce, garlic powder, salt and pepper in a large bowl until smooth.
  4. Fold in the cauliflower, chicken, celery and 1 cup Monterey Jack and spread the mixture in the baking dish.
  5. Top with the remaining cheese and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until bubbling and 165°F at the center.
  6. Rest 5 minutes before serving so sauce clings without running.
