A comforting one-dish chicken bake with tender cauliflower and broccoli in a creamy, cheesy sauce that’s hearty, balanced, and easy to prepare.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 3 cups cauliflower florets
  • 3 cups broccoli florets
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 cup heavy cream or milk
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded cheese
  • 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish.
  2. Add the chicken pieces, cauliflower florets, and broccoli florets to the baking dish.
  3. Drizzle with olive oil and season with garlic, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Toss until evenly coated.
  4. In a bowl, mix the cream with half of the shredded cheese, then pour evenly over the chicken and vegetables.
  5. Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese and Parmesan cheese over the top.
  6. Bake uncovered for 35–40 minutes, until the chicken is fully cooked and vegetables are tender.
  7. Optional: Broil for 2–3 minutes at the end for a golden, bubbly top.

Notes

  • You can substitute chicken thighs for extra juiciness.
  • Add mushrooms or bell peppers for more vegetables.
  • A splash of milk can be added when reheating if the bake looks dry.
