INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup Cauliflower
1 cup Spinach
1 oz Light Cream Cheese
1/4 cup Unsweetened Almond Milk
1/4 cup Low-Sodium Chicken Broth
1 tsp Butter
1 tbsp Olive Oil
Salt & Pepper
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Prepare the cauliflower by chopping it into small florets. Steam or microwave until just tender, about 4-5 minutes.
Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. In a skillet over medium-high heat, add olive oil and cook the chicken until golden and crispy on both sides, approximately 5-6 minutes per side. Once cooked, slice into bite-sized pieces.
In a small saucepan, combine the light cream cheese, unsweetened almond milk, and low-sodium chicken broth. Add a teaspoon of butter and stir over medium heat until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
In a baking dish, place the steamed cauliflower as the base. Arrange the crispy chicken and fresh spinach on top.
Pour the creamy sauce evenly over the mixture. Give a gentle stir to combine all flavors.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until the dish is heated through and the sauce has set slightly.
Serve warm and enjoy this delicious, balanced twist on a classic comfort dish.
