Cheesy einkorn chicken cauliflower casserole recipe

Cheesy Einkorn Chicken Cauliflower Casserole

October 15, 2015

What is einkorn flour?
Watch our video and find out.

No other recipe beats our cheesy einkorn chicken cauliflower casserole. This tasty dish is a great potluck contribution, a tasty BBQ side dish, and an easy-to-make weeknight meal. We’re big fans of the flavor and versatility. Not to mention it’s two enthusiastic thumbs up for people who are sensitive to wheat.

Don’t have einkorn flour? No worries! Just make chicken cauliflower casserole using traditional all-purpose flour.

The chicken is juicy, the cauliflower is tender and, let’s face it, anything with melted cheese on it is a winner! This crowd-pleasing dish holds well overnight if there’s actually leftovers.

Warm milk incorporates easier than cold milk, which helps to make the mix of ingredients smooth instead of lumpy (lumpy is gross). Hurry up and see just how easy it is to whisk it into the flour and butter!

Einkorn is helpful for those with gluten sensitivities or intolerances and not intended for those with celiac disease.

what you'll need
  

  • 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts (approx. 3 large breasts)
  • salt and pepper
  • 1 head cauliflower cut into 1" florets
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 2 Tbsp unsalted butter
  • 8 oz mushrooms sliced
  • 1/2 yellow onion diced
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 2 Tbsp all-purpose einkorn flour
  • 1 1/2 cups milk
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1/4 tsp dry mustard powder
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley chopped
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ground pepper to taste
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese grated
  • 3/4 cup Parmesan cheese grated
  • 1/2 cup toasted einkorn breadcrumbs or gluten-free panko
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • pinch salt

let's do it
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees then coat a 2-qt casserole dish with cooking spray. Season chicken breasts lightly with salt and pepper then place in prepared casserole dish. Spritz top of chicken with cooking spray then bake 20–25 minutes or until just cooked through. Remove from oven, cover loosely with foil then let rest. When the chicken is cool enough to handle, shred or cut into bite-sized pieces. Increase oven temperature to 425 degrees.
  • Put the cauliflower florets in a large microwave-safe bowl. Add ¼ cup water and cover with plastic wrap. Microwave on high for 5 minutes. Uncover the bowl and drain. Set the cauliflower aside.
  • Heat a large saucepan over medium heat. Melt butter then add sliced mushrooms. Cook for 4 minutes to soften the mushrooms and add diced onion. Cook 3–4 minutes until onion is translucent then add garlic and cook 1 additional minute.
  • Sprinkle in flour, stirring until dissolved. Cook approximately 1 minute, stirring frequently, then slowly whisk in milk. Bring mixture to a boil then add paprika, dry mustard, chopped parsley, salt and pepper stir to combine. Add cheddar cheese then stir until melted and incorporated. Remove from heat then fold in chicken and cauliflower to fully coat with sauce.
  • Coat casserole dish with another coat of cooking spray then add the chicken and cauliflower mixture. Combine the Parmesan cheese and breadcrumbs and cover the chicken mixture. Sprinkle top with garlic powder and a pinch more salt then bake uncovered 10–15 minutes until the top is golden brown and the filling is hot and bubbly.
  • Sprinkle the top with finely chopped parsley and serve.

One Last Thing

There’s no need to use extra pots and pans with this recipe. Use the same casserole dish to bake the chicken and for the casserole. Just add a little extra non-stick spray and you’re good to go.
