Cheesy Buffalo Chicken Cauliflower Cobbler
A spicy and creamy cobbler that combines buffalo chicken with cheesy cauliflower, topped with a crispy crust.
Equipment
- 1 9x13-inch baking dish lightly greased
- 1 Large Skillet
- 1 Mixing Bowl large
Ingredients
Cobbler Filling
- 1 lb chicken breast diced
- 4 cups cauliflower florets
- 1 cup buffalo wing sauce
- 8 oz cream cheese softened
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese divided
Cobbler Topping
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter cubed
- 1/2 cup milk
Instructions
Preparation
- In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the diced chicken until fully cooked and no longer pink. Set aside.
- Steam the cauliflower florets until tender but still firm, about 5 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked chicken, cauliflower, buffalo wing sauce, cream cheese, and 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese. Stir until well blended.
- In another bowl, mix the flour and baking powder. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the milk until just combined.
- Transfer the chicken and cauliflower mixture to a greased 9x13-inch baking dish. Spread the cobbler topping evenly over the filling. Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese on top.
Serving
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Bake the cobbler for 40 to 50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the cheese is bubbling.
- Allow the cobbler to cool for at least 10 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld.
Storage
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.
