Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 2 lbs of chicken breast, cooked and shredded
- 1 head of cauliflower, cut into florets
- 1 cup of heavy cream
- 1/2 cup of grated parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup of unsalted butter
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg
- 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
- In a large pot, bring water to a boil and cook the cauliflower florets until tender, about 5-7 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Stir in the heavy cream, parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens, about 5 minutes.
- In the prepared baking dish, layer the cooked and shredded chicken on the bottom, followed by the cooked cauliflower. Pour the alfredo sauce over the chicken and cauliflower, making sure to coat evenly.
- Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese on top of the casserole.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
- Allow the casserole to cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
