Ingredients

4 cups chicken breasts, cooked and diced or shredded

3 garlic cloves, minced

The "Shop Ingredients" option does not apply to all recipes.

Directions

Preheat oven to 400 F.

Steam broccoli and cauliflower together using a double boiler (or however you wish) just until fork tender – do not overcook – and set aside.

In a bowl, combine the chicken, cream cheese, milk, ½ cup of cheddar cheese, minced garlic, oregano, salt and pepper. Stir until well combined.

Transfer to a greased baking dish (9 x 11 or 10-inch round works best). Spread chicken and cheese mixture out in the dish. Top the chicken with steamed broccoli and cauliflower and gently mix in so that some of the pieces are submerged into the chicken and cheese. Top with remaining cheddar cheese.

Dash with a little pepper and optional pinch or two of crushed red pepper (omit for heat sensitive).

Bake in the oven for 20 minutes.

If you wish, top with a sprinkle of additional cheese with about 2-3 minutes of baking left.

Garnish with optional fresh parsley. Serve hot.
