For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a pinch of garlic powder or smoked paprika to the cauliflower before roasting. If you don't have cooked chicken on hand, rotisserie chicken works perfectly. Feel free to substitute the Cheddar cheese with your favorite cheese blend, such as Gruyere or Monterey Jack. This casserole can be assembled ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before baking. Add an extra 10 minutes to the baking time if baking from cold. To make this dish vegetarian, omit the chicken and add a can of drained and rinsed black beans.
