Maybe it’s just us, but we have been on a serious cauliflower kick recently. There’s something about that veggie that we just can’t get enough offor breakfast, lunch and dinner, cauliflower seriously hits the spot!

This dish is a tasty one where cauliflower isn’t quite the main event, but it adds to the overall flavor and really makes the meal special. Along with chicken and spinach, this casserole has just enough going on to be interesting and delicious, without being too complicated or difficult to make perfect for any weeknight dinner! If you’ve been on a similar cauliflower bender, or if you’re just getting into it now, this dish will satisfy that craving and we’re sure you’ll want to make it again soon!
