Ingredients
  

  • 4 chicken thighs boneless, skinless
  • 1/2 head cauliflower
  • 1 red onion chopped
  • 1 shallot chopped
  • 1 package baby bella mushrooms
  • 4 tbsps olive oil extra virgin
  • 2 tbsp vegetable stock
  • 1 tbsp thyme fresh, chopped
  • 2 tbsp parsley fresh, chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic diced
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 cups baby spinach for serving

Instructions
 

  • 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.
