The perfect weeknight meal or meal to make ahead for the week!

My favorite type of meal prep is one that includes high volume and lots of veggies that I can reheat and eat off of for the week for both lunch and dinner. I love a good hot/cold salad. This Chicken Broccoli-Cauli Bake is the perfect addition to a salad of greens, veggies, rice and or salad dressing.
I bake this dish ahead, cut into 8 large pieces and then reheat in my air fryer before eating. The air fryer gives the most wonderful crisp to the outside making it the most delicious addition to any salad or bowl.

- Steam both the cauliflower rice and broccoli. Chop the broccoli.
- Combine the chicken, cauliflower, broccoli, laughing cow cheese wedges, lite shredded cheese, Farmer (or ricotta/cottage) cheese, whisked eggs. Stir until combined evenly.
- Spread evenly into 9×13 pan and then top with mozzarella, grated parmesan and pepper. Could also top with sliced red onion, jalapeño, tomato…sky is the limit on toppings and add ons.
