Mashed Cauliflower Covered Chicken

Posted 2017-04-28 by finyfollow

Whilst trying to get my sugar levels down, I read that it is a good idea to substitute other vegetables instead of potatoes.

So, in this recipe, I have mashed the cooked cauliflower with a bit of oil, and covered the chicken mixture with it. It looks like a shepherds pie, only it is far healthier!

Preparation Time: 15 minutes
Cooking Time: 45 minutes
Serves: 3

Ingredients
½ large leek
2 celery stalks
2 chicken thighs
½ cauliflower
Small clove garlic, crushed
½ small bunch parsley, chopped roughly
½ tbsp flour
150 ml vegetable stock
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp almond meal

Method
  • Preheat the oven to 190°/170° fan forced.

  • Cut the cauliflower into pieces and steam until soft.

  • Transfer this into a food processor, add the olive oil, salt and pepper, and process until the cauliflower is creamy.
  • The cauliflower will looked like mashed potatoes


  • Slice the leek and celery and cook in a frying pan for about four minutes until it is starting to soften. Remove from pan.

  • Cut the chicken thighs into chunks and cook in the same frying pan until lightly browned.

  • Return the leek and celery to the pan and add the roughly chopped parsley.


  • Add the stock and mix it all together.

  • Mix the flour with a tablespoon of the stock from the fry pan. Stir until it is a smooth paste.

  • Add this paste to the mixture and stir over a low hear for a few minutes.

  • Pour the mixture into a pie dish and top with the mashed cauliflower.

  • Sprinkle the almond meal over the top and this will make a light crumb.


  • Bake for about 25 - 30 minutes.

  • Serve.
  • Served with gravy on top
