How to Make Low Carb Chicken Casserole
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- In a skillet, large enough to hold the chicken, melt margarine over medium heat.
- Add chicken and sprinkle with chicken seasoning; stirring well to coat. Cook until no longer pink and slightly browned. Set aside.
- To make the Cheese Sauce: In a medium-sized saucepan, melt margarine over medium/low heat.
- Add flour and cook until lightly browned. Stir in milk, a little at a time, until slightly thickened.
- Stir 1 1/2 cups cheese into milk. To get the desired thickness or thinness, you might want to add a bit more milk. Add salt and pepper to taste.
- In a large bowl, add cauliflower, chicken, and cheese sauce. Then pour into a greased 2-quart pan.
- Sprinkle with remaining cheese. Bake at 350 degrees for 35 minutes.
