CHICKEN-CAULIFLOWER CASSEROLE
1 pkg (10-oz) frozen chopped cauliflower
1/2 cup coarsely chopped onion
1/2 cup water
1 cup low-fat milk
1 tbsp cornstarch
1 tsp chicken-flavored bouillon granules
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 cup shredded low-fat process American cheese
1 cup chopped, cooked chicken
1 jar (4-oz) diced pimento, drained
Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
In a medium saucepan combine the cauliflower, onion, and water; cover and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 5 minutes or until the vegetables are crisp-tender. Drain well and set aside.
Using the same saucepan, combine the milk, cornstarch, bouillon granules, and salt. Beat the mixture well with a whisk to blend. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat. Reduce the heat and simmer while stirring constantly until thickened and bubbly. Add the cheese and stir with the whisk until the cheese melts; remove from the heat.
Spray a 1 1/2 quart casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray.
Combine the cauliflower-onion mixture with the chopped cooked chicken and the pimento. Add the cheese sauce and stir to blend. Spoon the mixture into the prepared casserole dish. Bake at 325 degrees for 20 minutes or until heated through and starting to bubble.
Enjoy!
