Ingredients
  

  • 3 cup cauliflower florets
  • 2 cup cooked chicken shredded
  • 2 tablespoon butter
  • 1 tablespoon fresh garlic minced
  • ¼ cup hot sauce like Frank's
  • 2 cup sharp cheddar cheese shredded
  • 2 cup gruyere cheese shredded
  • 3 ounce cream cheese softened
  • ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika for garnish
  • 2 whole green onion sliced

Instructions
 

  • Gather all ingredients. Preheat oven to 400F. In a microwave safe bowl, place florets with a small amount of water. Cover with paper towel and microwave until just tender, about 4 minutes. Remove to a colander and drain water well.
  • In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add garlic and stir fry 1 minute. Add hot sauce and stir, then add chicken. Stir to combine well. Add the cream cheese, the gruyere cheese and ¾ of the cheddar cheese. Cook, stirring frequently, until the cheeses have melted, about 3 minutes. Turn heat off.
  • Mix cauliflower with chicken/cheese mixture to combine. Pour into an oven safe baking dish. Sprinkle remaining cheddar cheese over the top. Bake for 20 minutes, then turn broiler on and broil for 5 minutes or until cheese begins to turn brown.
  • Sprinkle paprika over top and garnish with green onion slices. Plate and serve. Top with additional hot sauce, if desired.
