Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 head cauliflower, chopped into florets
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream (or alternative)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Preparation
- Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add your cauliflower florets and cook for about 5-7 minutes or until they are tender but firm. Drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken pieces along with salt, pepper, and onion powder. Cook for about 6-8 minutes until brown on all sides.
- Once your chicken is cooked, add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 30 seconds, allowing it to infuse with the chicken.
- Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring to combine. Allow the mixture to simmer for about 5 minutes, letting the sauce thicken slightly.
- Add the cooked cauliflower to the skillet and gently stir, ensuring the florets are well coated in the creamy sauce.
- Transfer to a serving dish and sprinkle with fresh parsley. Enjoy your meal warm!
Notes
