Paleo Chicken Alfredo Recipe

Ingredients

  1. 1 large head cauliflower, cut into florets
    3 cups chicken broth or bone broth
    1/2 teaspoon sea salt
    1/4 teaspoon black pepper
    1 tablespoon coconut oil
    1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast
    2 tablespoons grass-fed butter
    6 cloves garlic, roughly minced
    1 small head broccoli, cut into florets
    1 pound summer squash

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F.
  2. In a stockpot, bring chicken broth to a boil. Add the cauliflower and allow it to cook for about 15 minutes or until fork tender.
  3. While the cauliflower is cooking, begin the chicken. Season the chicken with salt and pepper, and heat 1 tablespoon coconut oil in an oven-safe skillet over a medium-high heat. Carefully place the chicken in the skillet and pan-sear for about 3 minutes per side, until golden brown. Transfer the skillet to the oven and allow the chicken to cook for 15-20 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 160 degrees.
  4. In a clean skillet, melt the butter over a medium heat. Saute the garlic for a minute or two, until fragrant. Transfer the butter and garlic to a food processor or high speed blender, and set aside.
  5. In the same skillet saute the broccoli in the remaining melted butter for 6-8 minutes or bright green and crisp. Remove from heat and set aside.
  6. Once the cauliflower is fork tender, reserve the broth as you spoon the florets into the food processor with the butter and garlic. Spoon 1 cup of the broth into the food processor. Add the salt and pepper and puree until smooth. Add more broth as needed until it becomes a smooth sauce.
  7. Using a spiral slicer or julienne peeler, slice the summer squash into long, thin noodles. In the skillet used to cook the broccoli, saute the spiralized squash ribbons for 2-3 minutes until cooked, but still crisp. Stir in the cauliflower sauce and cooked broccoli.
  8. Slice the chicken and top the pasta. Serve and enjoy!
