I’ve shared that I am currently on a cauliflower kick and this recipe satisfies my cauliflower cravings! It is delicious. I will definately be making it again. It uses two 12 ounce bags of cauliflower for a 9 x 13 pan. You will find it on page 140 of the new Trim Healthy Table cookbook in the Comforting Casseroles and Bakes chapter. It is a No Special Ingredient recipe and is considered a Satisfying dish. And it is Salesman approved – he thought it was good!
So we know from the title that it has chicken, bacon and rice. The cauliflower is the “rice” in the recipe. And I used turkey bacon for the bacon in this recipe. Did I share with you that I have given up pork products recently? Well, I have. The turkey bacon tasted good to me in this casserole. This recipe did not tell me what to do with the bacon after it was cooked and transferred to a plate. However, there is a book correction file on the Trim Healthy Mama facebook page and it does include this correction. Are you all part of the Trim Healthy Mama facebook page? What do you find most helpful about the Trim Healthy Mama community? Do you ever comment or contribute to the page?
The cauliflower rice was the tastiest part of this casserole to me! The only ingredient that I did not have on hand was dried onion flakes; but, the recipe tasted so good even without them. I will add them the next time I bake this dish, though.
Here is the dish hot out of the oven:
And here is a large serving spoon of it on my plate:
Broccoli was the side dish this evening:
Enjoy!
