Chicken, Kale & Cauliflower Bake with Melty MozzarellaChicken, Kale & Cauliflower Bake with Melty Mozzarella — a 40-minute dinner recipe with 10 ingredients, serving 6.Ingredients

1 ½ medium heads cauliflower

1.36 kg chicken thighs, boneless skinless

¾ (227 g) block cream cheese

3 cloves garlic

1 ½ bunches kale

1 ½ (227 g) blocks mozzarella cheese

black pepper

coriander, ground

extra virgin olive oil

salt

Instructions

Wash, dry, and separate each cauliflower into bite-sized florets; cut stems into smaller pieces. Place in a large bowl.

Preheat a large pot over medium-high heat.

While the pot heats up, peel and mince garlic; add to the bowl with the cauliflower.

Once the pot is hot, add oil and swirl to coat the bottom; add cauliflower, garlic, and spices. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the cauliflower has softened, 7-8 minutes. (Reserve bowl for the next step.)

Meanwhile, wash and dry kale. Fold leaves in half lengthwise and slice off the stems; chop or tear leaves into bite-sized pieces and place in the reserved bowl.

Pat chicken dry with paper towels, cut into bite-sized pieces, and season with salt and pepper.

Add kale to the pot in handfuls, waiting for the kale to wilt slightly before adding the next handful. Return cooked veggies to the bowl and set aside. (Reserve pot for the next step.)

Return pot to medium-high heat, add more oil, and swirl to coat the bottom; add chicken and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through, 5-6 minutes.

Meanwhile, preheat oven to broil on high and position rack in the upper third of the oven.

Using a clean cutting board, cut cream cheese into small pieces.

Coarsely grate mozzarella.

Return veggies to the pot and add cream cheese; cook, stirring occasionally, until cream cheese is melted and everything is warmed through, 4-5 minutes more. Remove from heat.

Transfer mixture to a large baking dish, top with mozzarella, and place in the oven; broil until the cheese is melted and bubbly, 3-5 minutes.

To serve, divide chicken and veggie bake between plates or bowls. Enjoy!
