Equipment

  • 8 x 11 baking dish

Ingredients

  • 8 oz cream cheese (one block)
  • ¼ cup mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon salt free seasoning blend
  • 1 pound chicken breast , (raw) chopped into bite sized pieces
  • 12 oz cauliflower , riced (I used a bag of frozen)
  • 4 oz chopped jalapeno , canned drained
  • 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar , 8 ounce bag, divided
  • Pickled jalapeno rings , about 16-20

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Coat interior of baking dish (8x11) with non-stick cooking spray
  • Place the cream cheese in a large microwave safe bowl. Zap in 20 second intervals until soft to whisk. Add the mayonnaise and seasoning and whisk.
  • Drop in the chicken, cauliflower and peppers. Mix well.
  • Now add ⅔ of the shredded cheese and fold in.
  • Spread the mixture out in the baking dish. Then bake for about 33-35 minutes. Chicken will be cooked and edges bubbly.
  • Top casserole with remaining cheese and the jalapeno rings. Return to oven to bake 5-7 min until cheese is well melted.
  • Best served slightly cooled, but if you have no patience just dig in.
