4 oz cream cheese softened
1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese divided
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x9-inch baking dish with butter or olive oil.
Steam or microwave cauliflower florets until tender but not mushy, about 5–7 minutes. Drain well and set aside.
In a saucepan over medium heat, whisk together heavy cream and cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
Stir in 1 cup cheddar, Parmesan, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix until melted and combined.
In a large bowl, combine cooked chicken, cauliflower, and the cheese sauce. Mix until everything is coated.
Pour mixture into the baking dish, top with remaining 1/2 cup cheddar cheese, and bake for 20–25 minutes until golden and bubbly.
Let cool for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with parsley if desired.
