Cheesy Chicken and Cauliflower Casserole
We love this cheesy cauliflower casserole so I hope you do too! It’s simple to throw together, filled with yummy cauliflower and juicy chicken, and oh yeah, that cheese sauce! Well you might need to lick the spoon when it’s done. It’s hearty enough as a main course (we usually serve with dinner rolls or dill bread to dip in the sour cream cheese sauce), but you can absolutely serve as a side dish if you’d like too. However you serve it, just try it soon! Looking for more cauliflower casserole recipes?

Ingredients for Cauliflower Casserole
Cauliflower, although I usually use fresh cauliflower, I have used frozen cauliflower and it worked well! Great sub: Don’t have cauliflower? Add broccoli instead! Chicken, you can use chicken breast or thighs, just make sure it’s boneless. Shredded Cheddar Cheese tastes best I think, but we’ve also used shredded mozzarella and it was good too! Sour Cream, you can also use plain yogurt if you need a substitute Other: butter, minced garlic, flour, chicken broth and chopped green onions.
How to Bake a Chicken and Cauliflower Casserole
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and add cauliflower on it, pouring olive oil and salt and pepper on top.
Bake until cauliflower is browned and remove from the oven.
Add cooked chicken into a 9×9 (or 11×8) baking dish.
