A comforting and healthy casserole packed with chicken, cauliflower rice, and optional cheese for a delightful meal any night of the week.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb cooked chicken breast (shredded or diced)
  • 4 cups cauliflower rice (fresh or frozen and thawed)
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup broccoli florets (small pieces work best)
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Olive oil (for cooking)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large pan, heat a splash of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until it’s translucent.
  3. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked chicken, cauliflower rice, broccoli florets, and the onion-garlic mixture. Mix everything well.
  5. Season your mixture with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. If you’re using cheese, stir in half of it now for a creamy texture.
  7. Transfer the entire mixture into a greased casserole dish and top with the remaining cheese.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the casserole is heated through and the cheese is golden and bubbly.
  9. Serve warm and savor every bite of your delicious creation!

Notes

For added flavor, consider using rotisserie chicken or adding spices like paprika. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
