Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Cauliflower rice
- 2 cups Cooked chicken breast (shredded or diced)
- 2 cups Broccoli florets (steamed)
- 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 ounces Cream cheese (softened)
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with olive oil.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the cauliflower rice. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until any excess moisture has evaporated. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked cauliflower rice, cooked chicken, and steamed broccoli.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the softened cream cheese, heavy cream, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
Pour the cream cheese mixture into the cauliflower rice mixture and stir until all ingredients are evenly combined.
Fold in 1 1/2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese, reserving the remaining 1/2 cup for the topping.
Transfer the mixture to the greased baking dish and spread it out evenly.
Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and the cheese on top is melted and golden brown.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
