Ingredients
-
1 pound chicken breast, cubed
-
1 medium onion, diced
-
3 cups cauliflower rice
-
3 cups broccoli florets
-
2 garlic cloves, minced
-
½ cup chicken broth
-
½ cup cream cheese, softened
-
1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
-
1 teaspoon paprika
-
1 teaspoon ground coriander
-
Salt and pepper, to taste
-
Olive oil, for cooking
-
Fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
-
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until translucent. Stir in garlic and cook 30 seconds more.
-
Add cubed chicken, paprika, coriander, salt, and pepper. Cook uncovered for 5–10 minutes, until the chicken is fully cooked and lightly browned.

Add cauliflower rice, broccoli florets, and chicken broth. Stir well, cover, and cook for 5–10 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
-
Reduce heat to low. Stir in cream cheese until fully melted and well combined with the other ingredients.
-
Sprinkle cheddar cheese over the top. Broil for 2–3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, golden, and bubbly.
-
Remove from heat, garnish with parsley if desired, and serve hot.
Notes
-
Frozen vegetables should be thawed and drained before using.
-
For a vegetarian version, substitute chickpeas or tofu for the chicken.
-
Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
-
Reheat gently on the stove with a splash of broth to maintain creaminess.
