Yöntemler

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

Make your veggie mixture. Heat a cast iron, enameled cast iron, or oven-safe pan over medium-low heat. Add oil and let it get hot, about 30 seconds. Add onion, garlic, and salt and pepper and saute, stirring occasionally, for 3-4 minutes until softened and browned. Next, add green pepper and saute for another 3-4 minutes. Then, add cauliflower rice, mix to combine, and saute for another 3 minutes. Turn off the heat.

While the veggies cook, make the cream cheese mixture. In a medium bowl, mix together the greek yogurt, softened cream cheese, nutritional yeast, paprika, and salt and pepper.

Assemble your casserole. Once the veggies are done and are slightly softened, add shredded chicken, cream cheese mixture, and diced jalapeno peppers to the pan. Stir well to combine and make sure everything is evenly incorporated.

Bake. Place in the oven and bake for 10-15 minutes until warmed through and golden brown on top. Remove from oven and sprinkle with cheese. Then sprinkle with the crushed pretzel pieces. Add some jalapeños slices if desired. Bake for another 5 minutes until the cheese is melted and golden brown.

Enjoy! Eat as a casserole or as a dip and enjoy!
