Make this easy, low-carb chicken cauliflower rice casserole for a comforting, cheesy, and healthy weeknight dinner. It is perfect for keto and meal prepping.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups cooked, shredded chicken (rotisserie or breast)
  • 4 cups cauliflower rice (fresh or frozen)
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, divided
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup broccoli florets (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease an 8×8 inch baking dish.
  2. If using fresh cauliflower rice, sauté it in a large skillet over medium heat until softened, about 5-7 minutes. If using frozen, thaw it completely and squeeze out excess moisture.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, heavy cream, chicken broth, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Whisk until the sauce is smooth.
  4. Stir in the shredded chicken, cauliflower rice, and broccoli florets (if using) into the cream cheese mixture until everything is evenly coated.
  5. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish.
  6. Sprinkle half of the cheddar cheese over the top of the casserole.
  7. Bake for 20 minutes.
  8. Remove the dish from the oven and sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese on top.
  9. Return to the oven and bake for another 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the casserole is heated through.
  10. Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • For a lighter version, substitute the cream cheese with plain Greek yogurt, though the texture will be less rich.
  • You can use pre-cooked rotisserie chicken to save time on weeknights.
  • This casserole makes excellent leftovers for lunch or meal prep.
