Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Steam or blanch the cauliflower florets until just tender, about 5-7 minutes. Drain well and pat dry to remove excess moisture.

Transfer the cauliflower and chicken mixture to the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheeses over the top.
05 -
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the casserole is heated through.
06 -
Remove from the oven and sprinkle with chopped green onions and fresh parsley or chives if desired. Serve hot and enjoy the spicy, creamy goodness!
# Notes:

Make It Extra Spicy: For added heat, sprinkle in some crushed red pepper flakes or a few dashes of hot sauce.
02 -
Add Crunch: Top with crushed pork rinds or crispy fried onions before baking for extra texture.
