Ingredients

Scale

Shredded Chicken:

  • 3 cups shredded chicken (rotisserie or cooked chicken breast)

Cauliflower Rice:

  • 4 cups cauliflower rice (store-bought or homemade)

Cream Cheese Mixture:

  • 8 oz (1 cup) cream cheese (softened) (or Greek yogurt for a lighter version)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (divided, or use a mix of cheeses like mozzarella and parmesan)
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • ½ tsp paprika
  • ½ tsp salt (adjust to taste)
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp olive oil (for sautéing the cauliflower rice)
  • 1 cup chopped spinach, broccoli florets, or sliced mushrooms

Instructions

  1. Prep Your Ingredients: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). If using raw chicken, cook and shred it. For cauliflower rice, pulse cauliflower florets in a food processor or use store-bought.
  2. Sauté the Cauliflower Rice: In a large skillet, heat some olive oil over medium heat. Add cauliflower rice and cook for 5-7 minutes until tender and moisture has evaporated.
  3. Mix the Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken, sautéed cauliflower rice, cream cheese, half the shredded cheese, and seasonings. Stir until well combined. If adding vegetables, sauté them lightly before mixing them in.
  4. Assemble the Casserole: Transfer the mixture to a greased 9×13-inch baking dish. Top with the remaining shredded cheese for a gooey, golden crust.
  5. Bake: Bake uncovered for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
