Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken thighs
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 head Cauliflower
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 6 pieces Bacon strips
- 2 tablespoons Green onions, sliced
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a large bowl, combine chicken thighs with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Ensure each piece is well-coated with the seasoning.
Place the seasoned chicken thighs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
While the chicken is baking, remove the leaves and core from the cauliflower head, and cut it into florets.
In a large pot of boiling water, cook the cauliflower florets until tender, about 10 minutes.
Drain the cauliflower and transfer it to a food processor. Add heavy cream, butter, and a pinch of salt, and blend until smooth and creamy.
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon strips until crispy. Remove from the skillet and chop into small pieces.
In individual bowls, assemble the dish by starting with a base of creamy cauliflower mash, followed by slices of baked chicken thighs.
Top each bowl with shredded cheddar cheese, bacon pieces, and a sprinkling of sliced green onions.
Serve immediately, allowing the residual heat from the ingredients to melt the cheese slightly.
