Directions
- Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
- Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.
- Peel and dice the yellow onion.
- Add a thin layer of oil and swirl to coat the pan.
- Add the chicken, onion, paprika, salt, and pepper; cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked, about 5–7 minutes.
- Rinse and dry the vegetables.
- Cut the cauliflower into quarters, trim away leaves and the thick stem, then coarsely grate or pulse in a processor and place in a large bowl; separate the broccoli into small florets and chop stems, adding them to the bowl.
- Add the grated cauliflower, broccoli pieces, and broth to the skillet; cover and cook until the vegetables are tender, about 5–7 minutes.
- Remove from heat and stir in the cheddar, yogurt, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy; divide among bowls with the chicken and vegetables and serve.
Two tips
- Prep the onion and vegetables earlier in the day or the night before to speed up dinner time.
- If you have a different melting cheese on hand, you can substitute cheddar for a similar amount and melt it in with the yogurt.
