Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease your baking dish with olive oil
  2. If using fresh cauliflower, chop into small florets and lightly steam for 3–4 minutes until just tender
  3. Drain cauliflower well and pat dry to remove excess moisture

  7. Add garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper
  8. Stir until all seasonings are evenly incorporated
  9. Add shredded chicken into the sauce and mix thoroughly
  10. Add cauliflower and fold gently to combine without breaking it too much

  12. Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish
  13. Spread evenly using a spatula
  14. Top with remaining cheddar and mozzarella cheese
  15. Drizzle a little extra buffalo sauce on top for added flavor
  16. Place the dish in the oven and bake for 25–30 minutes
  17. Bake until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and slightly golden
  18. Switch to broil for 2–3 minutes to create a crispy top layer
