My SO is doing low carb, and even those not doing low carb know that pasta is a big no - no. But sometimes even low carbers crave a casserole that's full of cheesy goodness. ;) So, I decided to try to come up with a recipe that was low in carbs and still fit the bill for cheesiness.For the chicken seasoning, I used Weber's Grill Creations Kick' N Chicken seasoning. But you can use whatever chicken seasoning you have on hand.And as always with my recipes, you can adjust the amount of seasoning as you like. Submitted to ZAAR on May 21st, 2009. Ingredients:
1 (16 ounce) bag frozen cauliflower, thawed and set aside |
3 tablespoons stick margarine |
1 1/2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite size pieces |
1 1/2 tablespoons chicken seasoning |
2 1/2 tablespoons stick margarine |
2 1/2 tablespoons flour |
2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese, divided |
1 1/4 cups 2% low-fat milk |
1/2 teaspoon black pepper (to taste) |

2. In a skillet large enough to hold chicken, melt margarine over medium heat.

5. To make the Cheese Sauce:.
