Description
A delicious layered casserole featuring cauliflower rice, chicken, and a cheesy topping.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups frozen cauliflower rice
- 1 can (15 oz.) Hatch Green Chile Enchilada Sauce
- 1 medium onion
- 1 green bell pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon ground cumin
- 1 can (4 oz.) diced green chiles
- 1 tablespoon Green Tabasco Sauce (optional)
- 3/4 cup sour cream
- 2 cups diced cooked chicken
- 1/4 cup sliced green onion
- 2 cups grated Mexican Cheese Blend
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 F/190C. Spray a 9″ x 12″ x 3″ casserole dish with non-stick spray.
- Take frozen cauliflower rice out of the freezer and let it start to thaw on the counter.
- Put Hatch Green Chile Enchilada Sauce in a small saucepan and simmer until it’s reduced to one cup.
- Dice onion and green bell pepper and slice green onions.
- Cut chicken into small dice.
- Heat olive oil in a frying pan, add onion and green pepper, and cook until they’re barely starting to brown, about 5 minutes.
- Add ground cumin and cook a few minutes more.
- Add frozen cauliflower rice and cook over high heat until rice is hot and liquid has evaporated, about 4 minutes.
- When Green Chile Enchilada Sauce has reduced to one cup, put it in a bowl that’s big enough to hold the chicken, and stir in diced green chiles.
- When the mixture is still warm but no longer hot, stir in the sour cream, diced chiles, and green onions.
- Make a layer in the bottom of the casserole dish with half the cauliflower rice mixture.
- Add half the chicken/sour cream mixture by spoonfuls, and spread over the cauliflower rice.
- Add half the grated cheese over the chicken mixture.
- Make another layer each of cauliflower rice mixture, chicken mixture, and grated cheese.
- Bake uncovered for 30-35 minutes, or until casserole is bubbling hot and the top is nicely browned.
- Let the Layered Mexican Casserole stand for 5-10 minutes before cutting, and serve.
Notes
- For a spicier dish, include the optional Green Tabasco Sauce.
