Cheesy California Chicken Casserole Food

CHEESY SKILLET CHICKEN AND CAULIFLOWER RICE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Whisk the lemon juice, 1/4 cup of the yogurt, 1 tablespoon of the olive oil, half of the garlic, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a medium bowl until smooth. Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board. Pressing down on each breast firmly with your hand, cut it in half horizontally like a bagel, so you have 4 equal pieces. Add the chicken to the bowl and toss to coat. Let sit for 15 minutes.
• Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Let the marinade drip off the chicken, then add the chicken to the skillet. Cook, untouched, until golden brown on the bottom and no longer sticking to the skillet, 6 to 7 minutes. Flip the chicken and continue to cook until it releases easily from the skillet, 3 to 4 minutes more. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
• Add the onion to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally and scraping up any brown bits from the bottom of the pan, until softened and translucent, about 7 minutes. Add the remaining garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Gently fold in the Parmesan, riced cauliflower, beans, broccoli, 1/2 cup of the Cheddar, remaining 1/2 cup yogurt, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Transfer the chicken and any juices back to the skillet and sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup Cheddar over the top. Bake until the cheese has melted, the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are warm, 8 to 10 minutes. Let cool slightly before serving.

CHEESY MEXICAN CHICKEN LASAGNA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Brush the inside of an 8-inch square baking dish with oil.
• Toss the chicken with 1/2 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl. Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook, undisturbed, until it begins to brown in spots, about 2 minutes. Add the poblanos, tomatoes and 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring frequently, until the chicken is cooked through, the peppers are crisp-tender and the tomatoes are saucy, 5 to 6 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the garlic. Transfer the chicken, vegetables and juices to a medium bowl to cool.
• Wipe out the skillet, add enough oil to just cover the bottom and heat over medium heat. Once the oil begins to shimmer, add 3 of the tortillas and fry until they are hot but still pale, about 10 seconds per side. Remove the tortillas to a baking sheet and sprinkle with salt. Fry the remaining tortillas in batches of 3, adding and heating oil as needed between batches.
• Cover the bottom of the prepared baking dish with 4 overlapping tortillas. Top with half the chicken-poblano mixture, sprinkle with 1 cup of the Mexican cheese blend and 1/4 cup of the Parmesan and dollop with 1/4 cup of the sour cream. Top with 4 more overlapping tortillas, the remaining chicken-poblano mixture, 1 cup of the remaining Mexican cheese blend and the remaining 1/4 cup each of Parmesan and sour cream. Top with the remaining tortillas and 1 1/2 cups Mexican cheese blend.
• Cover the dish loosely with foil and bake until the lasagna is hot and the cheese is melted, about 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for 5 minutes more. Let rest for a few minutes. Cut into 4 squares, place on 4 serving plates and divide the romaine and radishes among the plates.
