Main Ingredients
  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
  • 3 cups cauliflower florets
  • 1 cup cream of chicken soup
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder

Optional Ingredients

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Boil the cauliflower florets in a pot of salted water until tender, about 5-7 minutes. Drain well.
Mixing

  2. Add the steamed cauliflower to the chicken mixture, and gently combine until the cauliflower is evenly coated in the creamy sauce.
Baking
  1. Pour the mixture into a greased casserole dish. If using breadcrumbs, sprinkle them evenly over the top along with the shredded cheddar cheese.
  2. Place the casserole in the oven and bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until bubbly and golden brown on top.
Serving
  1. Let the casserole cool slightly before serving.

Notes

For an even quicker prep, consider using rotisserie chicken. You can swap cauliflower with broccoli or any other favorite vegetables for a delicious twist.
