Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine cooked chicken, heavy cream, shredded cheese, cauliflower rice (if using), garlic powder, onion powder, and salt and pepper. Stir until well mixed.
  • Pour the mixture into a greased baking dish and spread it evenly.

Baking

  • Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly.
  • Remove from oven and let it sit for a few minutes before serving.
  • Garnish with your favorite toppings if desired.
  • Serve and enjoy!

Notes

Flavor Kick: Add herbs like thyme or rosemary for an extra flavor boost if desired. Keep an eye on the casserole as it bakes; if the top is browning too quickly, you can tent it with aluminum foil to prevent burning. This casserole freezes beautifully! Prep a double batch and save one for a busy night.
