    I know so many people that are currently following a low carb or keto diet and having great success with it. Obviously, having access to easy keto recipes, is a key to weight loss success.

With that in mind, I'm super excited to share this Keto Chicken and Broccoli Casserole. This is a cheesy dish that uses riced cauliflower in place of rice. You'll love it!

    HOW TO MAKE BROCCOLI AND CAULIFLOWER RICE CASSEROLE

    pan of cheesy broccoli casserole

    This keto casserole recipe uses riced cauliflower. Now you can go through the trouble of making your own riced cauliflower. But mama, I know you don't have time for that. So I have a great supermarket shortcut for you that involves frozen cauliflower rice which can be found in most grocery stores in the freezer vegetables section.

    DO I NEED TO COOK THE FROZEN RICED CAULIFLOWER BEFORE ADDING IT TO THE CASSEROLE?

    You'll want to cook the frozen riced cauliflower so that it doesn't add extra liquid to the casserole. Simply cook it according the directions on the package and add it in the casserole.

    WHAT KIND OF CHICKEN DO YOU USE FOR THIS RECIPE?

    I used chicken breast for this recipe, but boneless chicken thighs would work as well. Simply cook them and cut them into cubes. Shredded chicken would work as well.

    Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cook your chicken in a pan and cut into cubes.

    Microwave the riced cauliflower according to package directions. Pour into a large bowl and add cut broccoli florets.

    Add cut up pieces of softened cream cheese, garlic and onion powders, and 2 eggs to a large mixing bowl.

      This dish reminds me of a broccoli, cheese and rice dish my mom used to make. I love that it's made with cauliflower to make it better for those watching their carbs.

      I didnt see eggs in the ingredients list but its in the directions. Do we really add 2 eggs with the cream cheese and powders?

      August 30, 2020 at 10:21 pm

      How many eggs? Your instructions call for eggs, but no eggs are listed in the ingredients.

      Oops, never mind, I obviously can't read; your instructions says 2 eggs. My apologies.
