Although the idea for this recipe came from the 2009 Fix-It and Forget-It: Our Best Slow-Cooker Recipes, it's not terribly recognizable here! That doesn't, however, make it any the less tasty! The listed cooking time is for the slow cooker on HIGH!

CHICKEN AND RICED CAULIFLOWER CASSEROLE



Chicken and Riced Cauliflower Casserole image

It's really a struggle for me to cook things that my hubby likes ever since I started doing my low carb/cal/high protein diet. He adores my southern cooking and just doesn't like very many of my low carb recipes. This is my traditional chicken and rice casserole recipe that I've revamped and made into a low carb/low calorie dish....

  • 4. In the large bowl with the broccoli and onion, combine drained water chestnuts, the cooked chicken and the drained cauliflower.
