Rotini with Chicken and Cauliflower
Seasoned ChickenRotini with Chicken and Cauliflower is a very healthy choice compared to a lot of my recipes that include large amounts of cream and cheese. If you don’t like cauliflower you can always substitute it with broccoli.
If I have the time I like to marinate the chicken in a little olive oil and herbs for a few hours before cooking. I usually use fresh garlic, basil, thyme and rosemary for this dish and I sometimes add some crushed red pepper flakes to add a little kick to the dish. This Rotini with Chicken and Cauliflower dish is a definite favorite. It’s economical and doesn’t take very long to prepare. Enjoy!
