Ingredients:
- 2 packages Frozen Cauliflower Rice (20-24 oz total)*
- 2 tbs Olive Oil
- 10 oz Mushrooms, sliced
- 2 Green Onions, sliced
- 2 tbs Arrowroot Powder
- 1/2 cup Marsala Cooking Wine (can substitute other wine or additional broth)
- 1/4 cup Unsweetened Almond Milk
- 1 cup Chicken Bone Broth (or regular broth)
- 2 tbs Parsley, Chopped
- 1 tsp Sea Salt
- 1/4 tsp Black Pepper
- 2 cups Rotisserie Chicken
- 1/4 cup Nutritional Yeast
- Optional – if you tolerate dairy, you can top with Parmesan cheese before baking or gluten free bread crumbs
Instructions:
- Add frozen cauliflower rice to a large skillet over medium heat until thawed and any liquid is evaporated. Remove from pan and set aside.
- Add olive oil, mushrooms, and onion to the pan and cook until mushrooms are soft.
- Add the arrowroot powder and toss to coat mushrooms for about a minute.
- Whisk in wine, almond milk, and chicken broth. Bring to a low simmer until thickened, about 5 minutes. Stir in remaining ingredients including cauliflower rice.
- Spray a small baking dish (about 8 x 8 inch) with cooking spray.** Add mixture from pan to baking dish top with Parmesan cheese or gluten free bread crumbs for crunch.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes until heated through and top begins to brown.
*When buying frozen cauliflower rice, make sure that cauliflower (and maybe sea salt) are the ONLY ingredients!
**Alternately, make the whole meal in an oven proof skillet and place the pan directly from the stove into the oven to make this a one dish meal.
