Perfect for those following a ketogenic lifestyle, this casserole is hearty, flavorful, and easy to prepare with simple ingredients and a straightforward baking method.

Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 14 ounces Cauliflower florets (cut into bite-size pieces)

Chicken

  • 32 ounces Chicken breast

Seasonings

  • 1 teaspoon Onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon Salt
  • ¼ teaspoon Pepper

Oils and Sauces

  • 1 tablespoon Olive oil
  • 2 cups Keto Alfredo Sauce

Cheese

  • 12 ounces Shredded mozzarella cheese (divided)

Instructions

  1. Steam the cauliflower: Place the cauliflower florets in a microwave-safe bowl with 1 cup of water, cover with a damp paper towel, and microwave on high for 3-5 minutes until the cauliflower is fork tender. Avoid overcooking to maintain texture.
  2. Drain and dry cauliflower: Carefully drain the water from the cauliflower and pat dry using paper towels to remove excess moisture. Set aside.
  3. Prepare the chicken: Cut the chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes and season them evenly with onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  4. Cook the chicken: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the seasoned chicken cubes for about 10 minutes or until fully cooked through. Remove from heat and set aside.
  5. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the casserole.
  6. Heat the Alfredo sauce: In a small pot over medium-low heat, warm the keto Alfredo sauce. Add 3 ounces of mozzarella cheese and stir continuously until the cheese melts and the sauce becomes smooth.
  7. Prepare casserole dish: Spray a 13×9 inch casserole dish with non-stick spray and spread ½ cup of the warmed keto Alfredo sauce evenly on the bottom.
  8. Layer cauliflower: Add half of the steamed and dried cauliflower to form the first vegetable layer on top of the sauce.
  9. Add chicken layer: Distribute half of the cooked chicken evenly over the cauliflower, filling gaps between the florets.
  10. Add more sauce: Pour ¾ cup of the keto Alfredo sauce over the cauliflower and chicken layers to moisten the casserole.
  11. Sprinkle cheese: Evenly sprinkle 4.5 ounces of shredded mozzarella cheese on top.
  12. Repeat layers: Repeat the layering steps with the remaining cauliflower, chicken, Alfredo sauce, and finish with the last of the mozzarella cheese on top.
  13. Bake the casserole: Place the assembled casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes, or until heated through and the cheese on top is fully melted and slightly bubbly.

Notes

  • Be careful not to overcook the cauliflower during steaming to maintain a pleasant texture in the casserole.
  • For an extra creamy sauce, ensure the mozzarella cheese is fully melted into the Alfredo sauce before assembling the casserole.
  • You can prepare this casserole ahead and refrigerate it, baking it fresh when ready to serve.
  • Use fresh chicken breasts for the best flavor and texture, but pre-cooked chicken can be used to reduce cooking time.
  • If desired, sprinkle some freshly chopped parsley on top before serving for a fresh garnish.
