INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup Cauliflower
1/2 cup Mixed Vegetables (Peas and Carrots)
1/4 cup Nonfat Milk
1/4 cup Low-Sodium Chicken Broth
1/4 cup Whole Wheat Flour
1 tsp Olive Oil
2 cloves Garlic
1 small Onion
1 tsp Fresh Thyme
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. In a non-stick skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat, add minced garlic and chopped onion, and sauté until softened.
Add the chicken pieces to the skillet and cook until lightly browned and nearly cooked through. Remove the chicken and set aside.
In the same skillet, stir in whole wheat flour and cook for about 1 minute to form a roux.
Slowly whisk in the nonfat milk and low-sodium chicken broth, stirring continuously until the mixture thickens into a creamy sauce.
Add in the cauliflower florets and mixed vegetables, along with fresh thyme. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until just tender.
Return the chicken to the skillet, ensuring it’s evenly distributed with the vegetables and sauce. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
Transfer the chicken and vegetable mixture into an oven-safe dish. Create a thin, even layer of mashed or finely processed cauliflower over the top to act as the crust.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until the cauliflower topping is lightly golden and the filling is bubbling.
Remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
