Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 4 cups cauliflower florets
- 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 0.5 cups chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoons paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Spray the inside of your crockpot with nonstick cooking spray or line it with a slow cooker liner for easy cleanup.
Trim any excess fat from the chicken breasts and place them at the bottom of the crockpot.
Layer the cauliflower florets evenly on top of the chicken breasts.
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the cream cheese, chicken broth, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and well combined.
Pour the cream cheese mixture over the chicken and cauliflower, ensuring everything is coated evenly.
Set the crockpot to cook on low for 4 hours or until the chicken is fully cooked and tender (internal temperature must reach 165°F/74°C).
Once done, shred the chicken directly in the crockpot using two forks, and mix it thoroughly with the sauce and cauliflower.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the mixture, cover the crockpot again, and let it sit on low for an additional 10-15 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Serve warm, garnished with freshly chopped parsley if desired. Enjoy your hearty, cheesy crockpot casserole!
