Description

A guilt-free comfort food miracle that swaps regular rice for cauliflower rice and combines it with juicy chicken, colorful veggies, and a creamy sauce. It’s basically all the cozy casserole vibes without the carb coma afterward!


Ingredients

Scale

 

For the Base:

  • 1 large head cauliflower (or 6 cups pre-riced cauliflower for you busy folks)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced (or 45 if you’re a garlic fiend like me)
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste

For the Sauce:

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter
  • 3 tablespoons almond flour (regular flour works too!)
  • 2 cups unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 cup chicken broth, low sodium
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard (trust me on this one!)
  • 2 cups fresh spinach, roughly chopped
  • ¼ cup nutritional yeast (or ½ cup parmesan if dairy is your jam)

For Topping:

  • ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • Red pepper flakes (for the heat-seekers)
