  • Author: Chef Ethan Sam
  • Total Time: 45 minutes

Ingredients

– 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 2 teaspoons dried Italian herbs (oregano, basil, thyme)
– 4 cloves garlic, minced
– Salt, to taste
– Pepper, to taste
– 1 head cauliflower, chopped
– 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk (or regular milk)
– 2 tablespoons butter
– Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)


Instructions

Preparing Herbed Chicken with Garlic Mashed Cauliflower involves straightforward steps that make the process easily manageable. Follow these instructions to create your delicious meal:

1. Prep the Ingredients: Gather all your ingredients and wash the chicken and cauliflower thoroughly.

2. Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine olive oil, dried Italian herbs, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Coat the chicken breasts in this marinade, ensuring they are well covered. Let them sit for about 10 minutes.

3. Cook the Cauliflower: In a pot, bring water to a boil. Add the chopped cauliflower and boil until tender, about 10-12 minutes. Drain the cauliflower and set aside.

4. Brown the Chicken: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add a touch more olive oil if desired. Once hot, add the marinated chicken breasts. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until cooked through and golden brown. Remove from pan and allow to rest.

5. Prepare the Garlic Mash: In the same pot used for boiling the cauliflower, return the drained cauliflower. Add almond milk, butter, and additional minced garlic. Mash with a potato masher or hand mixer until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

6. Serve: Once the chicken has rested, slice it and serve it alongside the garlic mashed cauliflower. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for an extra touch.

Following these steps will result in a wonderful meal that is sure to impress!
