ONE-PAN CHEESY CHICKEN AND RICE

Ingredients:

1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil (7g)
1/2 medium onion finely diced
1 clove garlic minced
150g boneless chicken breast cut into 1/2″ chunks
1 tablespoon almond flour
130ml chicken broth
65g basmati rice (raw)
100ml almond milk
30g Part skim Mozzarella cheese
150g cauliflower florets
Salt and Pepper to taste

Method:

Step 1

Place a skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil. Add onions, garlic, and diced chicken. Season with salt and pepper. Add the chicken and Sauté frequently until thoroughly cooked. Sprinkle flour over chicken. Cook flour for 30 seconds before adding chicken broth. Stir until flour is completely dissolved in the broth then add milk and rice. Stir to dissolve and distribute rice evenly inside the skillet. Bring liquid to a boil then reduce heat to low and simmer, uncovered and undisturbed, for 10-15minutes or until rice is tender and liquid is mostly absorbed.

Step 2

Add the cheese and cauliflower florets to skillet and stir gently to combine. Do not stir too much or the rice will disintegrate. Taste for seasoning and add salt and pepper, as necessary. Continue cooking for an additional 2 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
