1. Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.

2. Prepare the Chicken and Cauliflower Rice

If using raw chicken, cook and shred it beforehand.
For cauliflower rice, pulse cauliflower florets in a food processor or use store-bought cauliflower rice.

3. Sauté the Cauliflower Rice

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the cauliflower rice and cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally until tender and excess moisture evaporates.

4. Mix the Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl combine:

• shredded chicken

• sautéed cauliflower rice

• cream cheese (or Greek yogurt)

• half of the shredded cheese

• garlic powder

• onion powder

• paprika

• salt and pepper

Stir until creamy and fully combined.

If adding vegetables, lightly sauté them first before mixing them in.

5. Assemble the Casserole

Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.

6. Add Cheese and Bake

Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese on top.

Bake uncovered for 20–25 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly with a golden top.

7. Serve

Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired.
