I only have one word to describe this Chicken and Cauliflower Casserole…YUMMY!! I’m not normally a huge cauliflower fan, but this was right down delicious.

If you have picky eaters, this casserole is a great choice. Although it does have green onions in it (and I may leave those out all together next time) and cauliflower, the chicken, cheese and bacon bits make it cheesy and good.

Chicken and Cauliflower Casserole

INGREDIENTS 

  • 3 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cooked and cubed
  • 2 small heads cauliflower
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 2 bundles green onions, sliced
  • 3 ounces crumbled bacon pieces
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • salt to taste
  • pepper to taste
  • cooking spray

INSTRUCTIONS 

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and spray a 9×13 baking dish with cooking spray.
  2. Remove the stem from the cauliflower, separate and steam until tender.
  3. While cauliflower is steaming, combine the cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese in a large bowl. Take about 1/4 of the cheese and set it to the side.
  4. Add the cubed chicken, green onions, crumbled bacon and garlic to the cheese mixture and stir to combine.
  5. Add the cauliflower to the mixture, season with salt and pepper to taste and mix again.
  6. Pour the mixture into the 9×13 baking dish and top with the rest of the cheese.
  7. Cover dish with foil and bake for 25 minutes.
  8. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes.
  9. Let cool slightly before serving.

NOTES

You can also use frozen cauliflower florets in those stem bags. One 10oz package equals about 1 small head of fresh cauliflower.

For those busy nights, you can substitute the chicken with a rotisserie chicken. Simply shred the chicken and use in place for fresh.

I have to tell you that I don’t care for green onions very much, so I don’t put in near what this recipe calls for. But that is just my personal taste.
