Cheesy Chicken Jalapeno Cauliflower Casserole

Ingredients:

  • 3.5 cups frozen riced cauliflower (I used Green Giant, but Trader Joes makes a good one too)
  • 3/4 cup reduced-fat cream cheese, room temperature
  • 3/4 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp. garlic powder
  • 1 tsp. onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1/4 tsp. black pepper
  • 1 lb. raw boneless skinless chicken breasts, cubed into bite-sized pieces
  • One 4-oz. can diced jalapeños, drained
  • Optional topping: jalapeño slices

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray a 9″ X 13″ baking pan with nonstick spray.
  2. Cook frozen cauliflower rice according to package instructions (I recommend microwave prep).  Let cool.
  3. In a large bowl, combine cream cheese, 1/4 cup mozzarella, 2 Tbsp. Parmesan, and seasonings. Stir until mixed well. Add riced cauliflower, chicken, and jalapenos and mix again.
  4. Transfer mixture to the baking pan and smooth evenly in the pan.
  5. Top with remaining 1/2 cup mozzarella and 2 tbsp. Parmesan (and jalapeno slices if using). Cover with foil, and bake for 20 minutes.
  6. Remove foil. Bake until chicken is cooked through and cauliflower is tender, 20 – 25 more minutes.
  7. Let cool for 10 minutes before serving.
