Ingredients
- 1.5 pound chicken breast (boneless, skinless)
- 1 head cauliflower (cut into florets)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoon fresh rosemary (chopped)
- 3 clove garlic (minced)
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup chicken broth
- 8 ounce green beans (trimmed)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet.
- In a small bowl, combine olive oil, rosemary, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Rub the mixture over the chicken breasts and place them on one side of the prepared baking sheet.
- Place the cauliflower florets in a microwave-safe bowl with 2 tablespoons of water, cover, and microwave for 5-7 minutes, until tender. Alternatively, steam or boil until tender.
- While the chicken cooks, mash the tender cauliflower with a fork or potato masher. Stir in the chicken broth until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Add the trimmed green beans to the other side of the baking sheet with the chicken. Drizzle with a little olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F/74°C) and vegetables are tender-crisp.
- Serve the rosemary garlic chicken alongside the smashed cauliflower and roasted green beans.
