Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 pound chicken breast Cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 4 cups cauliflower rice
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil For cooking
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup low-fat Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cup reduced-fat shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley For garnish

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  2. Cut chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and season with salt, pepper, oregano, and paprika.
  3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat and add the seasoned chicken. Cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 5–7 minutes.
  4. Add chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet and cook until fragrant and translucent, about 2–3 minutes.
  5. Stir in cauliflower rice and cook for 3–4 minutes until slightly tender.
Mixing and Baking
  1. Remove skillet from heat and stir in Greek yogurt, half of the shredded cheddar, and all of the Parmesan until well combined.
  2. Transfer the mixture to a lightly greased 9x13-inch baking dish (if necessary) and sprinkle the remaining cheddar evenly on top.
  3. Bake for 15–20 minutes or until cheese is melted and casserole is bubbly.
  4. Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

For added flavor, serve this casserole with a crisp garden salad or garnish with red pepper flakes. Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for 3-4 days or frozen for 2-3 months.
