Ingredients
1 bunch broccoli, cut into crowns and pieces1/2 head cauliflower, cut into crowns1 tbsp olive oil2 tsp minced garlic3 boneless skinless chicken breasts (21 oz total in my case), cubed2 tbsp butter (organic, unsalted for this recipe)2 tbsp white whole wheat flour3/4 cup half and half1/2 cup chicken brothfreshly ground black pepper, to tastedash nutmeg1.5 cups shredded parmesan cheese, divided1/4 cup panko bread crumbs
Place cut vegetables in dish and add 2 tbsp water. Cover and microwave in 4 minutes increments until done to your liking (12 minutes in my case). While veggies are cooking, heat oil in large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and saute until fragrant, about 3 minutes. Add cubed chicken and cook, stirring occasionally, until cooked through. (Mine finished around the same time as the veggies). Meanwhile, melt butter in saucepan over medium heat. Slowly stir in flour until smooth. Cook and stir until thick and bubbly, about 5 minutes. Mix creamer and chicken broth and slowly stir into butter mixture. Add a little at a time and stir until smooth before adding more. Once liquid is incorporated cook and stir until smooth and thick, about 5 minutes. Add pepper and dash nutmeg. Stir in 1.25 cups parmesan cheese, again adding in batches until each is melted before adding more. Add chicken to baking dish with broccoli and cauliflower. Pour sauce over the top and sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup cheese and 1/4 cup panko. Broil until topping is melted and browned. My dish made 9 cups total... so 1 cup is 1 serving. (I doubled up!)
