Ingredients:

• 1 medium head cauliflower (or a bag of steamable)
• 2 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs (or Tofu for a fully vegetarian meal)
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 bunch kale
• 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
• ½ tsp ground coriander
• ½ tsp salt
• ¼ tsp black pepper
• ½ (8 oz) block cream cheese
• 1 (8 oz) block mozzarella cheese

Instructions:

1. Start by washing, drying, and separating the cauliflower into bite-sized florets. Cut the stems into smaller pieces and place them in a medium bowl.
2. Preheat a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat.
3. While the skillet heats up, add the minced garlic to the bowl with the cauliflower.
4. Once the skillet is hot, add 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil and swirl to coat the bottom. Add the cauliflower, minced garlic, ground coriander, salt, and black pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the cauliflower has softened (about 6-7 minutes). Set aside the cooked cauliflower in the bowl.
5. Meanwhile, prepare the kale by washing, drying, and removing the stems. Chop or tear the leaves into bite-sized pieces and place them in the reserved bowl.
6. Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels and cut them into bite-sized pieces. Season with salt and black pepper.
7. Add the kale to the skillet in handfuls, allowing it to wilt slightly before adding more. Once the kale is wilted, return the cooked cauliflower to the skillet and set it aside.
8. Return the skillet to medium-high heat, add another 2 teaspoons of extra virgin olive oil, and swirl to coat the bottom. Add the seasoned chicken pieces and cook until golden brown and cooked through (about 4-5 minutes).
9. Preheat your oven to broil on high and position the rack in the upper third of the oven.
10. Cut the cream cheese into small pieces on a clean cutting board.
11. Coarsely grate the mozzarella cheese.
12. Return the cooked veggies to the skillet and add the cream cheese. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the cream cheese is melted and everything is warmed through (about 3-4 minutes). Remove from heat.
13. Top the skillet with the grated mozzarella cheese and place it in the oven. Broil until the cheese is melted and bubbly (about 3-5 minutes).
14. To serve, divide the creamy cauliflower and chicken skillet between plates or bowls. Dive in and savor the delightful flavors!
