Ingredients
Chicken Casserole Mixture
- 4 ounces cream cheese softened
- 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic (for chicken mixture)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (for chicken mixture)
- 1 cup crumbled feta cheese divided
- 3 cups cooked, cubed chicken (about 1.5 pounds)
- 3 cups fresh spinach chopped
- 1 large tomato chopped
- 1 green onion thinly sliced
Cauliflower Base
- 16 ounces cooked cauliflower rice (or finely chopped raw cauliflower)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (for cauliflower base)
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic (for cauliflower base)
Instructions
- Get your oven ready by preheating it to 350°F (175°C).
- If you're using cauliflower as your base, gently mix the steamed cauliflower rice with the 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of minced garlic. Spread this healthy base evenly at the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the softened cream cheese, Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, parsley, oregano, the first 1 teaspoon of minced garlic, and the first 1/2 teaspoon of salt until smooth and creamy. Then, gently fold in 1/2 cup of the crumbled feta cheese, cooked chicken cubes, chopped fresh spinach, chopped tomato, and sliced green onion. Spoon this vibrant mixture evenly over your prepared cauliflower rice base or directly into the baking dish if skipping the cauliflower.
- Finally, sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of feta cheese generously over the top. Pop it into your preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until it's bubbly, golden, and heated all the way through. Enjoy this delicious, easy, and healthy meal!
