Out of the oven, hot bubbly and ready to eat!
Tender cooked cauliflower florets (cauli tots) on top, covered with cheese and bacon bits.
CAULI TOT CHICKEN AND
BACON CASSEROLE
This casserole was absolutely delicious and creamy-good! My husband and I loved it. I love mixing Swiss and
Mozzarella cheeses. On its own Swiss
cheese can be a little much for many people, but combined like this the flavor
is awesome. Do not season the cooked cauliflower
florets that go on top…the cheese will add enough flavoring. Lovely amounts of
vitamin K with the added parsley – good for strong bones!
4 cups chopped cooked chicken (1 L)
2 tbsp olive oil (30 mL)
1 lb mushrooms, sliced (0.45 kg)
1 cup chopped onion (250 mL)
Seasoning salt, to taste
Black pepper, to taste

1 lb cauliflower florets (0.45 kg)
3 slices bacon, cooked crispy and chopped

1/4 tsp white pepper (1 mL)
1 cup grated Swiss cheese (250 mL)

Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).
Set chicken aside.
In large frying pan, over medium heat and in olive oil, cook mushrooms
and onion, until soft, sprinkling with seasoning salt and black pepper, to
taste. In large pot of boiling water,
cook cauliflower florets until tender.
Creamy Sauce: In saucepan, over medium heat, combine spreadable
cream cheese, whipping cream, OR almond milk, olive oil, onion salt and white
pepper. Whisk until smooth.
In 9 x 13-inch (23 x 33 cm) casserole dish, place mushrooms,
onions and parsley. Top with chicken and
toss. Pour Creamy Sauce over all. Sprinkle casserole evenly with Swiss cheese
and then the Mozzarella cheese. Sprinkle with paprika if, desired. Cover with foil. Bake 30 minutes, uncover, sprinkle with paprika, if desired and bake another 10 minutes. Place under the broiler (mine is broken) for a minute or two to brown the top a bit.
Helpful Hints: Make sure there are no hard stalks with the
parsley. You can leave the parsley out,
if desired.
