Seared Chicken Thighs with Creamy Garlic Cauliflower Mash
Enjoy succulent seared chicken thighs paired with a silky, creamy garlic cauliflower mash. The dish boasts a delightful harmony of savory, roasted chicken infused with aromatic garlic and herbs, perfectly balanced with the smooth, velvety texture of mashed cauliflower enriched with a touch of heavy cream and olive oil.
INGREDIENTS
2 Chicken Thighs (approx 125g each, 250g total)
1 medium head Cauliflower (approx 300g)
2 Garlic cloves
3 tablespoons Heavy Cream
1 tablespoon Olive Oil
Salt & Pepper to taste
1 tablespoon Fresh Parsley (optional)
PREPARATION
Pat the chicken thighs dry and season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place the chicken thighs skin-side down (if skin is present) and sear until golden brown, about 5-6 minutes per side. Once cooked through, remove from the skillet and cover loosely with foil.
While the chicken rests, chop the cauliflower into florets and steam or boil until very tender, about 10-12 minutes.
In a small pan, lightly sauté the minced garlic in a bit of olive oil (or a splash from the pan used for the chicken) for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Transfer the cooked cauliflower to a blender or food processor, add the sautéed garlic, heavy cream, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
Plate the chicken thighs alongside a generous serving of the creamy garlic cauliflower mash. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired and serve immediately.
