Directions

Preheat oven to 325° F.
In a large skillet, heat Roasted Garlic Oil over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken to the skillet, season with a pinch of Dash of Desperation and sauté until slightly golden brown and tender (about 10-12 minutes.)
While chicken is cooking, cut the cauliflower into smaller pieces and grate into "rice" using a box grater into a large bowl. You may also do this by pulsing a few pieces at a time in the food processor
Spray a 9x11 baking dish with nonstick cooking spray and add the cauliflower into a single layer in the bottom of the dish.
Sprinkle the chicken in the skillet with Garlic and Spring Onion Seasoning. Pour the half and half into the skillet and stir, scraping up all the browned bits off the bottom.
Pour the chicken and cream mixture over the cauliflower and sprinkle with the cheese.
Cover tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 15-20 minutes until hot and melty.
Serve hot and enjoy!
