Equipment

1 Casserole Baking Dish

Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 lbs chicken breast or chicken thighs. Cut into bite-sized pieces. Whether you want to use the skin-on or skinless is completely up to you.
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 clove of minced fresh garlic
  • 1/4 cup of freshly chopped onion
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 large head of cauliflower
  • 1 jar x 24 oz no added sugar marinara sauce (or tomato sauce)
  • 1 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 2 cups shredded gooey mozzarella cheese
  • Fresh basil for garnish optional

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 175C (350F).
  • In a large bowl, toss the chicken breast pieces with olive oil, garlic, onion, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken just to sear it and make it golden brown. You want juicy chicken, so don’t overcook it!
  • In a casserole dish, spread a layer of marinara sauce. Add the cauliflower rice or zucchini noodles on top.
  • Add the cooked chicken over the rice/noodles. Pour the remaining marinara sauce over the chicken.
  • Sprinkle the grated parmesan cheese and shredded gooey mozzarella cheese evenly over the top of the casserole.
  • Cover the casserole dish with aluminum foil. Bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for another 10-15 minutes. You want a golden brown, bubbly top.
  • Garnish with fresh fresh basil before serving.
