Preparation

Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Cut the chicken breast, cauliflower, and broccoli into bite-sized pieces. In a bowl, whisk the egg (if using) with olive oil, and season according to taste.

Assembly

In a casserole dish, layer the chicken, cauliflower, broccoli, and any seasonings. If using an egg, pour the mixture over the ingredients in the dish. Finally, sprinkle the cheese evenly on top.

Baking

Place the casserole dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and the vegetables are tender. For the last few minutes, you may choose to broil the top to get a golden, bubbly cheese crust.

Serving

Allow the casserole to cool for a few minutes before serving. This dish can be enjoyed hot, straight from the oven. For a nicely balanced meal, serve with a side salad or a portion of quinoa or brown rice.
