Thankfully, with our simple low carb chicken, broccoli, and cauliflower rice casserole, you can enjoy the scrumptious taste of instant pot chicken, broccoli, and cauliflower rice casseroles, all while maintaining your low-carb lifestyle! After you make this uncomplicated recipe for low carb instant pot chicken, broccoli, and cauliflower rice casserole with a few ingredients, you won’t go back.
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400℉. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or foil. Spread the broccoli florets (and mushrooms if using) out evenly on the pan and drizzle/toss with 1 Tbsp olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- While the oven comes to temperature, make the cauliflower rice. Select the “saute” function on your Instant Pot. Add remaining 2 tbsp olive oil and let it heat for a minute or two. Add the frozen cauliflower rice with a pinch of salt and pepper, and saute for 5-7 minutes until cooked through. Hit “cancel”. Remove the cauliflower rice, place it in a bowl and set aside.
- At this point, you can put the broccoli in the oven. Set a timer for 20 minutes.
- Add the chicken breasts to the bottom of the Instant Pot. Add the sea salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. Pour the chicken broth over top of the chicken and seasonings. Lock the lid, turn the vent to “sealing”, and select “manual” high pressure for 13 minutes.
- When the chicken is done, manually release the pressure. Shred the chicken with 2 forks. There will be some extra liquid, but that is a good thing! You don’t want your “casserole” to be too dry. Add in the cooked cauliflower rice, cooked broccoli, and stir to combine.
- Select the “saute” function again. Add the cream cheese and stir well while everything heats together for 2-3 minutes. Hit “cancel”. Add salt and pepper to taste, serve, and enjoy!
