Keto Chicken Casserole

This casserole highlights chicken, cauliflower, cherry tomatoes, and a luscious cream sauce. The cream sauce in this recipe ties together perfectly with the cherry tomatoes, pesto, and lemon. They bring a wonderful fresh flavor to cut through the richness of all the fat and savory ingredients. I used heavy whipping cream as the main ingredient for the cream sauce, but you could use sour cream if you prefer a touch more acidity. You can also pre-cook the cauliflower some and wring it out gently to get rid of some of the extra moisture in the casserole if preferred.
