Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F and spray a 9x13 baking dish with cooking spray.
  2. Combine all ingredients except for 1 oz. (¼ cup) of cheese in a very large mixing bowl, tossing to combine.
  3. Spread casserole in an even layer in the casserole dish, then sprinkle remaining cheese on top. Cover with foil and bake covered for 20 minutes.
  4. Remove foil and bake uncovered for another 15-20 minutes until casserole reaches desired crispiness. Serve warm by itself or with these Everything Dinner Rolls!

Notes

*Fresh chicken is preferred so there is no excess liquid during preparation. If using frozen chicken, thaw completely and pat dry.

**You can use fresh cauliflower florets and rice them manually or buy frozen cauliflower rice and prepare according to instructions, then proceed with recipe directions. See blog post for more information.
