But the problem is most buffalo casserole recipes call for the addition of high-carb pasta. In this recipe, the pasta is replaced with healthy and low-carb and paleo riced cauliflower, making it the perfect entree for everyone to enjoy. Even the pickiest eater will love this tasty dish!

Ingredients and Variations
Chicken: This recipe calls for boneless chicken thighs that are shredded. However, meat from a rotisserie chicken would work in a pinch. Or make this shredded chicken and add it to the mixture.
The Sauce: Buffalo sauce is a buttery and slightly spicy sauce. Here it is mixed with creamy sour cream and cream cheese for a flavorful sauce. Make sure to soften the cream cheese before mixing it into the sauce. For slight variations replace the sour cream with some ranch dressing.
Cheese: Use cheddar cheese for this recipe, but switch it out for Monterey Jack, or add a little Gouda to the cheddar.
Cauliflower: Choose a tight head of cauliflower that is free of blemishes. Frozen will also work in this recipe, just make sure that it is thawed and drained. Making riced cauliflower is a cinch. Simply add to a blender and blend until the cauliflower is the size of pieces of rice. Don’t over-blend.
