INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast (~113g)
0.5 cup chopped Carrots (~65g)
0.5 cup chopped Parsnips (~80g)
0.25 cup chopped Onion (~40g)
0.25 cup chopped Celery (~30g)
0.5 cup Low-Sodium Chicken Broth (~120g)
1 tsp Olive Oil (~4.5g)
1 cup Cauliflower florets (~107g)
2 tbsp Nonfat Greek Yogurt (~30g)
0.5 tsp Thyme (dried)
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Dice the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Sauté the chopped onion and celery until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the chopped carrots and parsnips to the skillet and continue to sauté for another 4-5 minutes until they start to become tender.
Stir in the diced chicken and cook until the chicken is lightly browned on all sides, about 5-6 minutes.
Pour in the low-sodium chicken broth and sprinkle in the dried thyme. Allow the mixture to simmer for about 3-4 minutes so the flavors meld together.
Reduce the heat and stir in the Greek yogurt to create a light creamy sauce. Adjust salt and pepper as needed.
Transfer the chicken and vegetable mixture into a small oven-safe casserole dish.
Prepare the cauliflower topping by lightly mashing the cauliflower florets with a fork, leaving some texture. Spread the mashed cauliflower over the filling evenly.
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes until the cauliflower topping is heated through and begins to slightly brown.
Remove from the oven, let cool for a few minutes, and serve warm.
