  • Prep time: 15 minutes
  • Cook time: 25 minutes
  • Servings: 6

Ingredients

The Base

  • Chicken: 3 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded or cubed (Rotisserie chicken works great)
  • Vegetable: 1 medium head of cauliflower, cut into bite-sized florets (about 4-5 cups)
  • Bacon: 6 slices bacon, cooked crispy and crumbled

The Creamy Sauce

  • Cream Cheese: 6 oz cream cheese, softened
  • Sour Cream: 1/2 cup sour cream (full fat)
  • Heavy Cream: 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
  • Garlic: 1 tsp garlic powder (or 2 cloves fresh minced)
  • Onion: 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • Seasoning: Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Optional: 1/2 tsp dried ranch seasoning for extra zest

The Topping

  • Cheddar Cheese: 1 1/2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • Garnish: 1/4 cup sliced green onions (scallions)

Instructions

  1. Preheat & Prep: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. Steam the Cauliflower: Place the cauliflower florets in a microwave-safe bowl with 2 tablespoons of water. Cover and microwave for 4-5 minutes until just tender but not mushy. Drain well to remove excess water (this prevents a watery casserole).
  3. Make the Sauce: In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the softened cream cheese, sour cream, heavy cream, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy.
  4. Combine: In a large bowl, combine the cooked chicken, steamed cauliflower, half of the crumbled bacon, and the creamy sauce. Stir gently until everything is evenly coated.
  5. Assemble: Transfer the mixture to your prepared baking dish. Spread it out into an even layer.
  6. Top & Bake: Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the casserole is heated through.
  7. Finish: Remove from the oven. Top with the remaining bacon crumbles and the sliced green onions. Let it sit for 5 minutes before serving to let the sauce thicken slightly.
