CHICKEN AND CAULIFLOWER RICE SOUP



Chicken and Cauliflower Rice Soup image

Sometimes you need the comfort and healing power of chicken noodle soup but could do without the noodles. For those times, there's this herby and aromatic soup featuring fresh ginger, jalapeño, green onion, basil and cilantro, and made complete with tender chunks of chicken thighs and a rich chicken broth. In place of noodles, this soup features cauliflower rice-find it in the freezer section of your grocery store. This cruciferous vegetable does double duty here by making a satisfying textural substitute for the rice or noodles you might normally add to your chicken soup, while also adding some healthful benefits-cauliflower is loaded with nutrients, fiber, vitamins and potassium. The final twist in this soup recipe is the tablespoon of soy sauce stirred in at the end for extra savory flavor that'll have you coming back for a second bowl! So next time you need to heal your body or soul, do it with the help of this non-traditional but just-as-soothing chicken soup!

CHEESY SKILLET CHICKEN AND CAULIFLOWER RICE



Cheesy Skillet Chicken and Cauliflower Rice image

This cheesy chicken and cauliflower rice skillet bake is a healthier (and gluten free!) version of the classic casserole, jam-packed with vegetables while still boasting the flavors you know and love. The usual condensed soup is swapped out for low-fat Greek yogurt, and riced cauliflower subs in for the typical grain. The whole thing is topped off with reduced-fat sharp Cheddar for a rich, melty finish.

Time 1h10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Juice of 1 lemon
3/4 cup plain low-fat Greek yogurt
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 1/2 pounds)
1 medium onion, diced
1/4 cup grated Parmesan
Two 10-ounce bags frozen riced cauliflower
One 14.5-ounce can navy beans, drained and rinsed
One 10-ounce bag frozen broccoli florets
1 cup shredded reduced-fat sharp Cheddar

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Whisk the lemon juice, 1/4 cup of the yogurt, 1 tablespoon of the olive oil, half of the garlic, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a medium bowl until smooth. Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board. Pressing down on each breast firmly with your hand, cut it in half horizontally like a bagel, so you have 4 equal pieces. Add the chicken to the bowl and toss to coat. Let sit for 15 minutes.
  • Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Let the marinade drip off the chicken, then add the chicken to the skillet. Cook, untouched, until golden brown on the bottom and no longer sticking to the skillet, 6 to 7 minutes. Flip the chicken and continue to cook until it releases easily from the skillet, 3 to 4 minutes more. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
  • Add the onion to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally and scraping up any brown bits from the bottom of the pan, until softened and translucent, about 7 minutes. Add the remaining garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Gently fold in the Parmesan, riced cauliflower, beans, broccoli, 1/2 cup of the Cheddar, remaining 1/2 cup yogurt, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Transfer the chicken and any juices back to the skillet and sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup Cheddar over the top. Bake until the cheese has melted, the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are warm, 8 to 10 minutes. Let cool slightly before serving.
