  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

With a few simple ingredients, you can whip up this comforting casserole in no time. Here’s what you’ll need:

  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded (rotisserie chicken works great!)
  • 4 cups cauliflower rice
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for a little kick!)

Instructions

Let’s get cooking! Here’s how to bring this nourishing casserole to life:

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add broccoli florets and sauté for 3-4 minutes until they start to soften. This step reminds me of my mom’s knack for adding greens to every meal.
  3. Add the cauliflower rice to the skillet and cook for another 3 minutes. Stir in garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes if using. Mix well.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, combine Greek yogurt and chicken broth. Stir in the shredded chicken, sautéed vegetables, and half of the shredded cheddar cheese.
  5. Transfer the mixture to a greased baking dish, spreading it evenly. Top with the remaining cheddar cheese.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges are golden. It’s like opening a gift when you see that bubbling cheese!
  7. Let it cool for a few minutes before serving. This is the hardest part for my kids, who are always eager to dig in!
