Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 head Cauliflower
- 1 medium Zucchini
- 1 small Carrot (optional for small carb allowance)
- 1 medium Onion
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 4 cups Chicken broth
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 4 ounces Cream cheese
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon Dried parsley
Instructions
Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces.
Heat olive oil over medium-high heat in a large pot. Add the chicken and cook until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes. Remove the chicken and set aside.
Chop the cauliflower into small florets, slice the zucchini, dice the carrot and onion, and mince the garlic.
In the same pot, add the onion and garlic. Cook over medium heat until the onion is translucent, about 3 minutes.
Add the cauliflower, zucchini, and carrot to the pot. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a simmer. Cook until the vegetables are tender, about 10-15 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream and cream cheese, stirring until the cheese is completely melted and the broth is creamy.
Return the browned chicken pieces to the pot. Season with salt, black pepper, thyme, and parsley.
Let the stew simmer gently for another 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the chicken to cook through.
Check for seasoning and adjust if necessary. Serve hot and enjoy this low-carb creamy delight!
