Are Casseroles a staple in your household, too?
Casseroles can be so simple yet so delicious. Using shredded chicken and Lina’s alfredo sauce, this dish is already mouthwatering, but when you add cheese and veggies to the mix… OH MY! This is a great comfort food meal!
Hip Tips:
-
- This is an easy casserole to make ahead of time and freeze for a busy weeknight.
-
- Not a fan of spinach? No worries! Just add your favorite vegetable to the dish – for example, broccoli is a great alternative.
-
- You can use a rotisserie chicken to cut your time in half. I always make a Crock-Pot full of chicken at the beginning of the week and then use it throughout the week to make different meals. It’s definitely a big time saver on busy weeknights! Another option is to boil your chicken like Marley does when making this amazing casserole.
Chicken Alfredo may be my new favorite casserole. 😋 It’s full of rich, creamy goodness from the cheese and the sauce. It will surely make the whole family excited for dinner!

Hi there how many grams weight is the bag of frozen riced cauliflower? We have 250 & 300 gram containers of it.
How many ounces for the cauliflower? I have a big bag from Costco! Or how many cups?
I used a 10oz. bag which is about 3 cups.
This was a hit at our house! Delicious!
Thanks, Jenifer! I’m so glad to hear.
Could you omit the cauliflower, or is there something else I could substitute? My husband isn’t a fan.
Yes! We have also liked this with broccoli! Hope that helps!
Do you need to thaw the riced cauliflower first and or drain out any excess liquid?
Hey Karen, you do not need to thaw out the cauliflower. The excess liquid is the perfect amount for the dish. Just throw it in and go 🙂
