Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until fork-tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and allow to steam dry for a few minutes. Add to food processor and pulse until it looks like rice like. Do not over-do pulse or you will puree it.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk the egg first. Then add the cauliflower, parmesan and romano cheese, italian style cheese, colby cheese, garlic powder, and italian seasoning. Stir and then transfer to the cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Use a spatula to flatten it and spread evenly on the whole pan. Bake for 35 min or until light brown.
  3. As the crust is in the oven cooking. Cook the pre grilled chicken in a sauce pan on the stove to warm it up. Then take out a small bowl and mix together the cream cheese and sour cream dip till it is well blended. Set the mixture aside. On a cutting board cut up the deli sliced ham so that is diced or in piece.

Notes

  • If you don’t have a food processor, you can grate the whole head with a cheese grater. To make the recipe go faster you can grill the chicken the day before or cook the cauliflower the day before as well.
