Time 1h47m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
4 cups broccoli florets, or to taste
3 tablespoons butter
1 small onion, chopped
1 ½ teaspoons minced garlic
½ teaspoon garlic salt
⅛ teaspoon dried parsley
salt and ground black pepper to taste
3 cups cauliflower florets
1 cup chicken broth
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1 teaspoon lemon juice
½ cup mayonnaise
2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Place chicken breasts into a large pot and cover with water; bring to a boil. Cook until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 10 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of a breast should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove chicken from the water.
  • Place a steamer insert into a saucepan and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring water to a boil. Add broccoli, cover, and steam until tender, 3 to 6 minutes. Chop broccoli.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Melt butter in a deep saucepan over low heat. Add onion and garlic; cook and stir until onion is clear and tender, 8 to 12 minutes. Add garlic salt, parsley, salt, and pepper.
  • Pulse cauliflower in a blender or food processor until it resembles rice. Add cauliflower and chicken broth to the onion mixture; cook and stir until broth is nicely absorbed, about 10 minutes. Add heavy cream and lemon juice. Let simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until well combined, about 10 minutes. Stir in mayonnaise and remove from heat. Let sauce cool until thickened.
  • Pull chicken apart with 2 forks into bite-size pieces. Add 1/2 the pulled chicken to the sauce.
  • Line the bottom of a casserole dish with the rest of the pulled chicken. Lay steamed broccoli on top; pour the cauliflower sauce over the broccoli. Top with Cheddar cheese. Cover with aluminum foil.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake until cheese at the edges is slightly browned, about 10 minutes more. Let casserole cool for 5 to 10 minutes; slice into 6 even portions.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use freshly cooked chicken. Leftover chicken can also be used, but it may not be as flavorful.
  • If you don't have any cooked chicken, you can cook some quickly in a skillet over medium heat. Just season the chicken with salt and pepper and cook until it is cooked through.
  • Use high-quality ingredients for the best results. Fresh vegetables, creamy soup, and a flavorful cheese blend will make all the difference.
  • Don't overcook the casserole. The chicken should be cooked through, but it shouldn't be dry. The casserole should be bubbly and hot when it comes out of the oven.
  • Serve the casserole immediately with your favorite sides. Some popular options include mashed potatoes, rice, or a salad.
