Vegetables
- 14 ounces Cauliflower florets (cut into bite-size pieces)
Protein
Spices & Seasonings
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon Salt
- ¼ teaspoon Pepper
Oils & Sauces
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 cups Keto Alfredo Sauce
Cheese
- 12 ounces Shredded mozzarella cheese (divided)
- Steam the cauliflower: Place the cauliflower florets in a microwave-safe bowl with 1 cup of water. Cover the bowl with a damp paper towel and microwave on high for 3-5 minutes until the cauliflower is fork tender but not overcooked.
- Dry the cauliflower: Drain any excess water from the cauliflower and pat dry using a paper towel. Set aside.
- Season the chicken: Cut the chicken breast into 1-inch cubes. Sprinkle evenly with onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to season.
- Cook the chicken: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken cubes and cook for about 10 minutes, or until fully cooked through. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the casserole.
- Heat Alfredo sauce: In a small pot over medium-low heat, warm the keto Alfredo sauce. Once hot, stir in 3 ounces of shredded mozzarella cheese until it melts and the sauce becomes smooth.
- Prepare casserole dish: Spray a 13×9 inch casserole dish with non-stick spray. Spread ½ cup of the warmed Alfredo sauce evenly on the bottom of the dish.
- Add first cauliflower layer: Spread half of the steamed and dried cauliflower evenly over the sauce layer.
- Add first chicken layer: Top the cauliflower with half of the cooked chicken cubes, distributing the pieces so they fill the spaces between the cauliflower evenly.
- Layer sauce and cheese: Pour ¾ cup of the Keto Alfredo sauce over the chicken and cauliflower, then sprinkle 4.5 ounces of shredded mozzarella cheese evenly on top.
- Add second cauliflower layer: Repeat by adding the remaining cauliflower over the cheese layer.
- Add second chicken layer: Add the remaining cooked chicken on top of the cauliflower layer.
- Top with remaining sauce and cheese: Pour the remaining Alfredo sauce evenly over the chicken, and sprinkle with the last 4.5 ounces of shredded mozzarella cheese.
- Bake the casserole: Place the casserole dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes, or until the casserole is heated through and the cheese is completely melted and bubbly.
Notes
- Make sure not to overcook the cauliflower during steaming to maintain texture.
- You can substitute the chicken breast with cooked shredded rotisserie chicken for quicker preparation.
- Use full-fat Alfredo sauce and mozzarella for best keto results.
- If you prefer, add some chopped parsley or basil for garnish after baking.
- Allow the casserole to rest for 5-10 minutes after baking for easier serving.
