I am a big fan of turning comfort foods into healthy recipes. I am always amazed and delighted when the healthy version turns out to be just as good as the unhealthy version. This recipe for Cauliflower “Risotto” with Chicken is one of them! The cauliflower replaces the  rice that is called for in traditional risotto dishes,  making this a great low carb dish.

. 1 head of cauliflower, steamed. Mash with potato masher or run through food processor.
. 1 chicken breast boiled in chicken stock, water, and 1 Tbsp garlic.
. 1/3 Red onion diced
. 3/4 cup green beans chopped
. 2 Tbsp Kerry Gold Butter or olive oil
. 1 Tbsp minced garlic
. 1/2 cup chicken broth
. 1/2 cup heavy cream
. 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
Salt and pepper to taste.

Once chicken is cooked and tender, pull/shred into pieces and set aside.

. Sauté onion and green beans in butter until beans are tender and onion is soft.

. Add garlic and allow to cook a minute longer.

. Add cauliflower and chicken. Stir to incorporate.

. Stir in cream and chicken broth.
