Units
Scale
Vegetables
- 14 ounces Cauliflower florets, cut into bite-size pieces
Protein
- 32 ounces Chicken breast
Spices & Seasonings
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 1/4 teaspoon Pepper
Oils & Sauces
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 cups Keto Alfredo Sauce
Cheese
- 12 ounces Shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
Instructions
- Steam Cauliflower: Place the cut cauliflower in a microwave-safe bowl with 1 cup of water. Cover with a damp paper towel and microwave on high for 3-5 minutes until fork tender but not overcooked. Drain the cauliflower and pat dry with a paper towel. Set aside.
- Prepare Chicken: Cut the chicken breast into 1-inch cubes. Season with onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Cook Chicken: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken cubes and cook for approximately 10 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Preheat Oven: Set the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit to preheat.
- Heat Alfredo Sauce: In a small pot, gently heat the keto Alfredo sauce over medium-low heat. Once hot, add 3 ounces of mozzarella cheese and stir until melted and smooth.
- Layer Casserole: Spray a 13×9 inch casserole dish with non-stick spray. Spread ½ cup of the Alfredo sauce on the bottom of the dish. Layer half of the cooked cauliflower on top, followed by half of the cooked chicken, spreading the chicken to fill spaces. Pour ¾ cup of Alfredo sauce over this layer and sprinkle 4.5 ounces of mozzarella cheese.
- Repeat Layers: Repeat the layering process using the remaining cauliflower, chicken, Alfredo sauce, and mozzarella cheese.
- Bake Casserole: Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes, or until everything is warmed through and the cheese is completely melted and bubbly.
Notes
- Do not overcook the cauliflower during steaming to maintain texture.
- Use fresh mozzarella cheese for a smoother melt and better flavor.
- Adjust seasoning to taste, especially salt and pepper depending on the Alfredo sauce used.
- This casserole can be prepared ahead of time and baked when ready.
- For a crispier top, broil the casserole for 2-3 minutes at the end of baking, watching carefully to avoid burning.
