Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams chicken breast
- 1 medium head cauliflower
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic
- 250 ml low-sodium chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
Cut the cauliflower into bite-sized florets and place them in a large bowl.
Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and paprika to the cauliflower and toss them until the florets are evenly coated.
Spread the cauliflower on a baking sheet and roast in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until they begin to brown and are tender when pierced with a fork.
While the cauliflower is roasting, cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces.
Mince the garlic cloves and chop the fresh parsley.
Heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the chicken pieces to the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the chicken is lightly browned and cooked through.
Pour in the chicken broth and lemon juice, then stir well. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Once the cauliflower is roasted, add it to the skillet with the chicken and stir to coat everything in the sauce.
Season with black pepper and adjust the seasoning with more salt if needed.
Simmer for an additional 5 minutes to allow the flavors to blend.
Garnish with fresh parsley before serving warm. Enjoy your healthy and delicious Low Fat Cauliflower Chicken!
