Baked Chicken Breast with Mashed Cauliflower and Green Beans

1Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

2Place the chicken breasts on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil (2 tablespoons) and season with garlic powder (1 teaspoon), paprika (1 teaspoon), dried thyme (1 teaspoon), salt, and pepper. Rub the seasonings into the chicken breasts.

3Bake the chicken breasts in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

4While the chicken is baking, cut the cauliflower into florets and place them in a large pot. Add enough water to cover the cauliflower and bring to a boil. Cook until the cauliflower is tender, about 10-15 minutes.

5Drain the cauliflower and transfer it to a food processor. Add the almond milk, butter (2 tablespoons), nutmeg (¼ teaspoon), salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning to taste.

6Trim the ends off the green beans and steam them in a steamer basket over boiling water for about 5-7 minutes, or until tender but still crisp.

7Once the green beans are done, transfer them to a bowl and toss with lemon juice (1 tablespoon), salt, and pepper.

8Serve the baked chicken breasts with a side of mashed cauliflower and green beans. Enjoy!
