Instructions
  1. Cook frozen riced cauliflower according to package directions.*
  2. Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a 12” skillet over medium-high heat. Season chicken with salt and pepper then cook for 5-7 minutes total while turning pieces so all sides are browned, and pieces are cooked through to 165°F. Transfer chicken to a plate and let rest.
  3. Heat remaining 2 teaspoons oil and saute broccoli for 3-4 minutes until tender. Transfer to plate with chicken.
  4. Reduce heat to medium and melt butter the same skillet (or a separate, small saucepan if desired). Saute garlic for 30 seconds, until fragrant. Add flour and whisk until evenly combined and cook for 1 minute. Slowly whisk in stock, then slowly whisk in milk and season with pepper. Cook until mixture reaches a simmer and thickens. Remove from heat and stir in cheese until melted.
  5. Portion out approximately 1 cup riced cauliflower and 1 cup chicken and broccoli mixture in each bowl. Top with a generous ¼ cup cheese sauce. Serve with apple on the side.
