Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat the Oven to 425°F (220°C) and position the rack in the middle.
- In a large pot, combine about 2 cups of water and steam both the cauliflower and broccoli florets covered for approximately 5 minutes until they become tender but not mushy.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced cooked chicken, softened cream cheese, half-and-half, and shredded mozzarella cheese. Season with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Stir in the warm, steamed broccoli and cauliflower into the cream cheese mixture while everything is still warm.
- Carefully transfer the mixture into an oiled casserole dish, spreading it out evenly. Sprinkle a generous layer of the remaining mozzarella cheese on top.
- Bake the casserole uncovered in your preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and starting to brown.
- Switch your oven to broil for the last 3 minutes to enhance the golden crust, watching closely to avoid burning.
