Easy Garlic Mushroom Cauliflower Chicken- PCOS Friendly and High Protein
A simple and delicious chicken dish using garlic, mushroom and cauliflower. Free of common allergens, quick to prepare, high in protein, low carb, PCOS friendly and thoughtfully crafted to support hormone balance and overall well-being.
Cook the Chicken: In a skillet over medium-high heat, warm 2 tablespoons of avocado oil. Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper, then cook until golden brown and cooked through. Set aside once done.
Prepare the Veggies: Meanwhile, chop the red onion, cauliflower, shallot, and baby Bella mushrooms.
Sauté the Veggies: In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Sauté the red onion until lightly browned, then add the baby Bella mushrooms and cook until tender and golden.
Add the Cauliflower and Shallots: Incorporate the cauliflower florets and chopped shallot into the skillet, cooking until caramelized and browned.
Deglaze with Stock: Pour in the vegetable stock to deglaze the skillet, allowing it to simmer for approximately 2 minutes, imparting flavor to the cauliflower.
Season and Finish: Finely chop the fresh thyme, parsley, and garlic cloves. Add them to the skillet and cook for an additional 30 seconds to release their flavors.
Combine Ingredients: Return the cooked chicken thighs to the skillet, nestling them among the vegetables. Heat through for a minute or two.
Serve and Enjoy: Plate the Easy Garlic Mushroom Cauliflower Chicken on a bed of fresh baby spinach for added vibrancy and nutrition.
