Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
• 2 cups Broccoli florets
• 3 cups Cauliflower, riced
• 2 cups Cheddar cheese, shredded
• 4 ounces Cream cheese
• 0.5 cup Heavy cream
• 0.5 cup Chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons Parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Season the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.

Step 4

Place the chicken in the skillet and cook for 8-10 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked through and golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 5

In the same skillet, add the riced cauliflower and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until slightly tender.

Step 6

Transfer the cooked cauliflower rice to a large mixing bowl.

Step 7

Add the broccoli florets to the bowl with the cauliflower rice.

Step 8

In a medium saucepan, combine the cream cheese, heavy cream, and chicken broth. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the cream cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.

Step 9

Pour the cheese sauce over the cauliflower rice and broccoli, and add 1 1/2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese to the mixture. Stir to combine well.

Step 10

Chop the cooked chicken into bite-sized pieces and add it to the broccoli rice mixture. Mix everything thoroughly.

Step 11

Transfer the mixture to a greased 9x13 inch baking dish, spreading it evenly.

Step 12

Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese evenly on top.

Step 13

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and the cheese on top is melted and slightly golden.

Step 14

Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.

Step 15

Garnish with chopped parsley if desired and serve warm.
