Equipment
- 4 quart baking dish
Ingredients
- 3 cups fresh broccoli florets
- 3 cups fresh cauliflower florets
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
- ¾ cup heavy cream
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened (note, I used Light cream cheese)
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 3 cups cooked shredded chicken breast (rotisserie chicken works well)
- ½ cup shredded carrots
- 1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400F
- Steam the broccoli and cauliflower: Heat 1 inch of water in a saucepan with a steamer basket over high heat, until it begins to boil. Add the broccoli and cauliflower to the steamer basket, season with ½ teaspoon salt, cover, reduce to medium heat, and let cook for 5 minutes or until fork tender. (If you do not have a steamer basket, you can just add the florets directly to the boiling water.). Remove from the heat and remove the tender broccoli and cauliflower from the pan to let cool and stop the cooking process.
- Make the sauce: In a measuring cup or small bowl, whisk together the heavy whipping cream, cream cheese, and the rest of the seasonings. If the cream cheese is too thick, microwave the sauce in 15 second increments until it mixes easily. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, steamed broccoli and cauliflower, and the shredded carrot. Pour the sauce over top and stir well. Pour into a 4 quart casserole dish and spread into an even layer. To save dishes, you can just mix everything in the casserole dish. Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the top.
- Bake in the preheated oven, uncovered, 20 minutes, or until the cheese is starting to brown and bubble.
