How to Make Cheesy Chicken Cauliflower Casserole in a Slow Cooker
Cris here.
As my family has shifted to more low carb meals, I have been trying all kinds of things in the kitchen and this is a recipe I have made a few times that is absolutely LOVED by all.
My family very much loves riced cauliflower as a substitution for rice. It doesn’t have that “cauliflowery” taste and it helps give the same body to dishes as rice does. SO, I decided to give a chicken casserole a try and after trying a few things, I landed on this yummy dish that is now a regular around here!
Ingredients for Crock Pot Cheesy Chicken Cauliflower Casserole (Low Carb)
- 4 Cups Riced Cauliflower (or finely chopped cauliflower)
- 4 Cups Boneless Skinless Chicken Thighs- cooked and cut into bite sized pieces
- 2 Cups Shredded Extra Sharp Cheddar Cheese
- 1 Cup Sour Cream
- 8 oz Cream Cheese- Softened
- 1.5 teaspoon Poultry Seasoning
- 2 Eggs – Beaten
- Salt and Pepper to Taste
Notes on Crock Pot Cheesy Chicken Cauliflower Casserole
- We find riced cauliflower in the freezer section at the grocery store. If you would like to make your own you can just finely chop it with a knife or run through a food processor.
- We cook up our chicken ahead of time by grilling it or cooking it in a skillet with some seasoned salt and butter.
- We LOVE using our casserole crock for this recipe because it makes dividing portions so much easier. However, this recipe cooks up great in a regular 6 quart slow cooker too.

- As with any of our recipes, carb counts, calorie counts and nutritional information varies greatly. As a result, your nutritional content depends on which products you choose to use when cooking this dish. The auto-calculation is just an automated estimate and should NOT be used for specific dietary needs.
- All slow cookers cook differently, so cooking times are always a basic guideline. Recipes should always be tested first in your own slow cooker and time adjusted as needed.

Cris, will this recipe freeze well?
Could you do this recipe in the oven instead of crockpot? If so what would be your recommendation for oven temp and cooking time?
This sounds delicious, Cris. Is the cauliflower going in raw or cooked? Thank you!
Hi Shelly-
We toss it in raw. Usually we use the frozen bags and just let them set out a few minutes and toss them in. But I have made it with fresh riced cauliflower too. It turns out great either way. Enjoy!
Would love to know grams on “fat” and “protein” as well as “carbs” and calories.
I am able to keep the carbs down…need help getting the fats up and proteins down.
Hi Melody-
We don’t provide nutritional information because we feel it is incredibly misleading for recipes on the internet. Nutritional information will be different for every home cook because it always will depend on the exact ingredients and products you use. We wrote a post about it a while back and compared products to show how vastly different simply based on different brands of the same ingredients (https://www.recipesthatcrock.com/frequently-asked-questions-nutritional-information/ ).
Since writing that post we began eating Low Carb in our home and readers asked we share the low carb recipes we enjoy at home. When something is marked low carb on the site it is because we make it using low carb ingredients and enjoy it as a part of our low carb lifestyle. At first I tried to share net carbs (like I did in this recipe), but as I began to learn how much products varied in carb counts specifically, I began to be worried that information could be incredibly misleading so I stopped.
I know that is probably not the answer you were hoping for, but after a lot of consideration we have decided to not include it at this time.
would it be okay to use regular frozen Cauliflower instead of the riced type?
Happy to see low carb recipes.
Keep them coming. Thanks
Love your low carb recipes, can’t wait to try this one!
So so glad you are sharing more low carb recipes. I try to change things to comply with my woe but you make it easy.
Oh so glad to hear it! The site will continue to have all kinds of recipes but since my family eats low carb now, you will likely see many low carb recipes in the future too ;).
Since there’s only 2 of us, this looks like it would be a great recipe to cut in half easily. Great for using a smaller crock pot!
Definitely!! Enjoy!!
IF I use uncooked chicken and increase the cooking time will recipe still turn out?
Hi Natalie-
I haven’t tried it, but if you cut up the chicken (and season it well with salt and pepper), I would bet it would be done in around approximately 4 hrs (timing may vary) and should still turn out fine. Let me know if you try it. Enjoy!!
