Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 head Cauliflower florets
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Oregano
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces.
Separate the cauliflower into small florets.
In a large ovenproof skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken pieces to the skillet, season with salt and pepper, and cook until they are golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil, then add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the cauliflower florets to the skillet, season with paprika and oregano, and stir well.
Pour in the chicken broth, stirring to combine, and bring to a simmer.
Return the chicken to the skillet, mixing it with the cauliflower.
Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the top.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender and the cheese is golden brown.
Remove from oven and drizzle with lemon juice.
Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
