About the Cauliflower Rice

I like to use Frozen Cauliflower rice for this recipe. I purchase them from the frozen aisle and always store them at home. They come in handy while making so many Cauliflower recipes.

For this recipe, I do not even microwave the Cauliflower rice. I just thaw the frozen Cauliflower rice, drain out the excess water using a paper towel, and use it.

This results in a casserole that has intense Cauliflower flavor and just makes this casserole, extra delicious.

However, if you want, you can thaw the frozen Cauliflower and microwave it for 5 minutes on high power, drain out the excess water and then use it.

You can make your own Cauliflower rice by pulsing the Cauliflower florets in the food processor and then use it.

Ingredients used to make this Keto Cauliflower Rice and Chicken Casserole

  • Cauliflower rice - This is seriously a superfood. If you haven't been using it until now, please do. You can replace this with Broccoli rice. It just adds the fiber and protein to your diet without the carbs!
  • Cooked & Cubed Chicken - I Have used Chicken Breasts, which I have precooked in the oven at full power for 15 minutes with some water. Then I cut it out using a sharp knife into cubes and then use it. You can also shred the chicken and use it. You can also slow cook the chicken in a slow cooker for 3-4 hours.
  • Mozzarella Cheese & Cheddar Cheese - Being on a Keto diet, doesn't;t mean all boring food. Mozzarella and Cheddar are totally keto-friendly cheese which you will love in this recipe. Also, it makes the casserole so damn good and comforting.
  • Onion Powder & Garlic Powder - Just these two spices is what you need to make this casserole. It adds that kick and doesn't let this be bland.
  • Smoked Paprika - Just a teaspoon of smoked paprika makes this tastes beyond delicious and so good.

If your casserole is too watery, then you can use Xanthan Gum to thicken the casserole and skip out on the flour.

Making the Cauliflower Rice and Chicken Casserole

Step 1: Cook the Chicken - You can cook the chicken in a slow cooker for 3-4 hours or microwave it at full power with some water for 15 minutes and then use it. You can shred the chicken or cube it. It's totally up to you!

Step 2: Combine the ingredients: All you need to do is combine the Cauliflower rice with the Cooked Chicken and the spices - Garlic Powder, Onion Powder, Smoked Paprika, Salt & freshly cracked black pepper. Add the Chicken Broth and the cheese - Mozzarella & Cheddar Cheese (half of it) and toss everything until combined.
