A quick, creamy, and oil-free Keto casserole using your already boiled chicken, low-carb cauliflower noodles, and a high-protein cottage cheese sauce.
Since your chicken is already boiled, this Cheesy Baked Cauliflower Noodle & Chicken Casserole comes together in absolute record time! We're sticking strictly to your goals—keeping things beautifully Keto, entirely gluten-free, and completely oil-free—while delivering maximum comfort food vibes. Because you've already handled the meal prep by boiling the chicken, all that is left to do is shred it and mix it up.
Instead of using oil, butter, or heavy cream to create a luscious sauce, we are leaning on high-protein cottage cheese mixed with just a splash of almond milk. As it bakes in the oven, the cottage cheese melts down into a wonderfully creamy coating for the low-carb cauliflower noodles. The addition of fresh bell pepper provides a much-needed crunch and burst of natural sweetness, perfectly balancing the savory depth of the garlic parsley seasoning and chicken soup powder.
This Cheesy Baked Cauliflower Noodle & Chicken Casserole is purposefully designed to be assembled and baked in just one single baking dish, which means cleanup will be an absolute breeze for you. The mozzarella cheese sprinkled on top gets perfectly melted and golden brown in the oven, creating that irresistible cheesy pull without any of the extra greasy heaviness. It is mild, completely non-spicy, and perfectly portioned for two. Enjoy this incredibly healthy, diet-friendly take on a classic comfort dish that perfectly utilizes your already prepped ingredients!

Chef's Tips
- •Because the chicken is already cooked, you are simply baking this just long enough to heat the vegetables and melt the cheeses together.
- •The cottage cheese naturally releases a bit of moisture as it bakes, creating a perfect, oil-free cream sauce right in the pan.
