Chicken Cauliflower Casserole Recipes

CHICKEN CAULIFLOWER CASSEROLE - QUICK AND EASY RECIPE

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 375, grease a 9 x 9 oven-safe dish(I use an avocado oil spray), and set aside.
• Start by preparing your cauliflower and broccoli. Put a large saucepan with about 2 inches of water over medium-high heat. Once the water is at a rolling boil, add in the florets. Let them cook for 2-3 minutes. When they are done they should be fork-tender. Drain the water, return the cauliflower and broccoli to the saucepan, and set aside.
• In a large mixing bowl combine the softened cream cheese with the mayo and then stir in the seasonings. Add the grated cheese, then the shredded chicken. Finally, stir in the steamed cauliflower and broccoli and mix it all together.
• Transfer the chicken and cauliflower mixture into the prepared baking dish and cover with the last 1/4 cup of grated cheese.
• Place in the oven and bake for 20 minutes. Next, set the oven to broil and broil for 2-3 minutes or until the cheese is bubbling and browned in spots.
• Serve warm. Leftovers keep covered in the fridge for up to three days.

CHICKEN TETRAZZINI CASSEROLE WITH CAULIFLOWER

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Bring 1 1/2 cups water to a boil in a pot and season with salt. Add the cauliflower, cover and steam until just tender, 7 to 8 minutes. Drain and cut into florets. Meanwhile, bring another pot of salted water to a boil and cook the noodles to just shy of al dente, about 5 minutes. Drain. Heat 4 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and cook until tender and browned. Add the garlic and shallots and cook, stirring, for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the flour and cook, whisking, for 1 minute. Deglaze with the sherry, stirring and scraping up any browned bits with a wooden spoon. Whisk in the chicken stock and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for a few minutes, then stir in the heavy cream. Season with salt, pepper and a few grates of nutmeg. Combine the cauliflower, noodles, chicken and sauce. Transfer to a casserole dish. Melt the remaining 4 tablespoons butter in small pan, then drizzle over the panko in a bowl and toss to combine. Add the Parmigiano-Reggiano and toss. Sprinkle the breadcrumbs over the casserole. Bake until hot, bubbling and golden, 40 to 45 minutes. Sprinkle with the parsley. Divide among plates. Cook's Note: The unbaked casserole (without the breadcrumbs) can be covered and refrigerated for a make-ahead meal.
• Put the chicken in a very large stockpot or divide between 2 pots if necessary. Add the peppercorns, garlic, bay leaves, carrots, celery, lemons, onions and herb bundle and sprinkle with salt. Add enough water to cover the chicken. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cook at a rolling simmer for 1 1/2 hours. Remove the chicken from the liquid and let cool. Strain the stock. (You should have 5 to 6 quarts stock.) Remove the skin and bones from the chicken, and shred the meat using your hands or 2 forks.
