Ingredients for Buffalo Chicken & Cauliflower Rice Casserole

Chicken – we used boneless skinless chicken breasts, you can also use tenders because it’s going to be shredded

Frozen Cauliflower rice

Hot Sauce – Our favorite is Frank’s

Onion

Garlic – mince your own, or grab the store-bought kind. If you don’t have it, you can swap it out for garlic powder

Black Pepper

Cottage Cheese – we use 4%

Yogurt – try to use plain Greek yogurt! It adds so much creaminess and is full of extra protein

Cheddar Cheese

Paprika For garnish

How To Make Buffalo Chicken Casserole with Cauliflower Rice

I like to start by sauteing my onions, but this is totally optional. You can always just add them to the casserole instead of cooking them first.

Cook your chicken either by boiling, baking, or pan-frying. You could even use your Instant Pot by putting them in, add 1 cup of broth and cook on high pressure at 10 minutes.

Then shred the chicken and add it to a bowl along with the hot sauce, garlic, pepper, and cheese.

Stir in the cauliflower rice while it is still frozen. Then add your cottage cheese and Greek yogurt. Mix together well and pour into a 9×13 baking dish. Top it off with shredded cheese and bake! You can add the paprika for garnish if you would like!

Can You Make Buffalo Chicken and Cauliflower Rice Casserole Ahead of time?

Yes! You can actually construct your casserole, then wrap it tightly in plastic wrap topped with a layer of aluminum foil and place in the freezer. This is perfect for meal prepping and planning. When you are ready take it out and bake at 350 degrees until it is warm all of the way through.

If you find that it is getting a little dark on top, simply cover it with foil and continue baking.

Is It Okay to Swap Out the Cottage Cheese?

You can, but I LOVE cottage cheese so it’s a must in my casserole. You can replace it with ricotta or sour cream if you would like.
