Best 5 Cauli Cheese Chicken Bake Recipes

CHEESY CHICKEN-BROCCOLI-CAULIFLOWER CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Combine 1/2 the mushroom soup and an equal amount of water in a saucepan over medium heat. Add chicken. Bring to a simmer and cook until chicken is no longer pink in the center, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Heat 1 frozen, unopened bag of cauliflower and broccoli mix in the microwave until hot, 4 to 6 minutes. Let stand about 2 minutes; open bag and transfer vegetables to a bowl. Repeat with remaining bag.
• Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add milk and salt; stir in remaining cream of mushroom soup. Add flour slowly, stirring constantly with a whisk to prevent lumps. Add Cheddar cheese. Cook and stir until cheese sauce is thick, 5 to 7 minutes. Add garlic powder.
• Layer half the cooked vegetables into the bottom of a baking pan or casserole dish. Add half of the cooked chicken. Pour in half the cheese sauce. Add a light layer of bread crumbs. Add remaining vegetables, remaining chicken, and remaining cheese sauce. Top with a light layer of bread crumbs. Cover pan with aluminum foil.
• Bake in the preheated oven until bubbling, 20 to 30 minutes.

CAULI CHEESE & CHICKEN BAKE

Steps:

• If using bacon, get 2 rashers (for one portion or multiply this for more portions), fry these enduring they are cooked but not too crispy. These are what I use to line an oven proof dish so once cooked place these flat at bottom of dish. Dice chicken into small pieces, sprinkle with some chicken seasoning and fry these on a medium heat until they are white all the way through.
• Boil broccoli on the hob until it's cooked but not too soft. If using cauliflower, cook this at the same time and leave it to the side. Then chop this up into small pieces. Sprinkle a very light layer of grated cheese over the bacon in the dish. Now add the diced broccoli and chicken on top of the bacon, leaving a little bit of chicken left.
• In a pan with some fry light or oil, cook a bit of finely chopped onion, in with the spinach and a bit of garlic for flavour. When this is all cooked, add it all in on top of the bake. Then add the remaining chicken pieces on top of the bake.
• Now make up your cheese sauce mix, I use a quick version; Colman's cheese sauce powder and the instructions are on the packet which is made up in no time. If you used cauliflower this will already be cooked, chop it up into really small pieces and mix it in with the cheese sauce. If using cauliflower rice, it will be ready to mix in with the sauce after cooking it. Once this is all mixed in, pour it on top of the bake in the oven proof dish. Finish by adding a generous sprinkle of grated cheese (I used low fat cheddar) and then bake it in the oven on a medium heat for 15/20 mins until the top is nice and brown/crispy.

CAULIFLOWER AND BROCCOLI BAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• In a medium saucepan with enough water to cover, boil cauliflower and broccoli until tender, about 10 minutes. Drain, and transfer to a medium baking dish.
• In a separate medium saucepan over low heat, melt butter, and stir in flour. Gradually whisk in milk, and increase heat to medium. As the mixture thickens, whisk in English mustard, cayenne pepper, salt and pepper. Continue whisking until a thick sauce has formed, being careful not to allow the mixture to boil. Sprinkle in 2/3 of the cheese, and stir until melted.
• Pour sauce over broccoli and cauliflower. Bake in the preheated oven 30 minutes, until bubbly and lightly brown. Sprinkle with remaining cheese during the final 10 minutes of cooking.

CREAMY CAULI, BRIOCHE & BAY BAKE

Steps:

• Warm the milk and bay in a saucepan over a low heat for a few minutes. Once steaming, turn off the heat. Leave to infuse for 10 mins. Meanwhile, put the cauli in another pan, cover with hot water and boil for 2-3 mins until tender. Drain and leave in the colander to steam-dry.
• Melt the butter in the cauliflower pan (no need to wash it) over a medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook for a minute or two, stirring to make a sandy paste. Add a ladleful of the warm milk, stirring until smooth. Keep adding the milk, stirring well, until you have a smooth sauce. Add the cream, nutmeg, mustard and half the cheese. Season well.
• Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6 if cooking straightaway. Tip the cauliflower into a baking dish (ours was 20 x 30cm), arranging any leaves to poke out a little, so they'll go nice and crispy. Pour over the sauce, making sure the cauliflower is fully coated. Scatter over the brioche and remaining cheese. Will keep chilled for two days. Bake for 25-30 mins until golden.
