1 cup cooked, pulled or diced chicken
1 medium head of cauliflower (or use a bag of frozen florets, thawed)
1/3 cup butter
½ cup diced green pepper
1 cup mushrooms, sliced
½ cup red onion, chopped
8 slices cooked crisp bacon, crumbled
1 packet (or 2 tsp) Xanthan Gum (for thickening)
1 cup heavy cream (SEE RECIPE NOTE BELOW)
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1 cups cheddar cheese, grated
1 cup mozzarella, grated
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder (or 2 cloves fresh minced)
Parmesan, grated or shaker for the top (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350. Separate the cauliflower into small florets. In a large pot of boiling water cook until just tender. Drain and set aside.

Sprinkle in the Xanthan gum. Mix to coat evenly. Gradually stir in the cream, stirring constantly until it thickens. About 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Put half of the cauliflower and all the chicken in a casserole dish and sprinkle with half each of the cheeses. Spoon half the veggies with sauce over the cheese. Put the rest of the cauliflower on top, sprinkle with the rest of the grated cheese and pour the rest of the sauce on top. Sprinkle with paprika, garlic powder and parmesan. Bake at 350F for 35 to 40 minutes.

EVERYTHING BUT THE KITCHEN SINK CASSEROLE



Everything But the Kitchen Sink Casserole image

Chicken, veggies, Marsala wine and mozzarella come together to make a delicious, savory casserole. Sometimes I leave the cheese off and put out a bowl, so it can be added as needed. If you're planning on keeping leftovers, I recommend doing this so the cheese doesn't get gummy.
