Ingredients
- 1 lb chicken breast boneless, skinless
- 1 head cauliflower cut into florets
- 1 cup unsweetened coconut milk or milk of choice
- 4 cups chicken broth low sodium
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 2 teaspoons parsley
- 1 teaspoon salt plus extra for chicken
- 1 teaspoon pepper plus extra for chicken
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 F. Place the chicken on a prepared baking sheet covered with a slipmat or parchment paper. Sprinkle the chicken with oil, salt and pepper then place in the oven.
- Bake the chicken 30 minutes at 350 F or until the center is no longer pink on the inside.
- While the chicken cooks, place the cauliflower florets in an even layer on a large baking sheet. Place in the oven with the chicken and roast 20-25 minutes or until tender and lightly browned around the edges.
- Remove everything from the oven when done cooking. Let it cool 8-10 minutes on the baking sheet.
- Transfer the cauliflower to a food processor or blender. Add milk and blend on high until smooth. Once smooth, add the broth, dried parsley, salt and pepper. Blend again until smooth. The consistency should be creamy and thick.
- Transfer the mixture to a large pot and bring to medium heat covered. While the pot heats, shred the chicken using two forks. Add the shredded chicken to the pot. Stir together the ingredients and cook another 10 minutes just to heat. Note, if you are making the recipe for meal prep, you can skip this step and just heat when you are ready to eat.
- Store the soup in the refrigerator up to 7 days in an airtight container or in the freezer up to 60 days.
