Let's be honest - this casserole will not win any culinary beauty contests. But it could win a taste contest. And what better way to get the goodness of cauliflower into your diet than mixing it with cheesy chicken and colorful peppers! This makes a great meal served with a green salad.
Start by steaming the cauliflower florets for 7 to 10 minutes or until tender. While the cauliflower is cooking, saute the onion and bell peppers for about 3 minutes.
Add garlic and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
Lightly mash the cauliflower, then mix it into the onion and peppers. Add the chicken,
salt and 1 cup of the cheese.
Mix it all up, then transfer to a casserole dish. Top with the remaining cheese.
Bake for 20 minutes until the casserole is heated through and the cheese is melted.
Delicious!
