Chicken with Sundried Tomato & Goat Cheese with Mashed Cauliflower

Dinner last night was really good.  I made chicken breast with a sundried tomato and goat cheese sauce with mashed cauliflower.  Here are the ingredients you need:

Chicken Breast (2)

Salt

Pepper

Olive Oil Spray

White Wine (1/2 cup)

Chicken Broth (1 cup)

Sundried Tomatoes (1 package pre sliced)

Herb Goat Cheese (4 oz)

Cauliflower (2 heads)

Garlic (2 cloves)

Chives (1 large bunch)

Romano Cheese (1/2 cup)

Salt

Pepper

Split each chicken breast in half and season with salt and pepper.  Cook chicken in a pan sprayed with olive oil cooking spray over med-high heat about 6-8 minutes on each side. While the chicken is cooking – start making the cauliflower (below). Once the chicken is cooked through, set aside and keep warm.  In the same pan, add the wine and allow to simmer and reduce a bit.  Once reduced, add the chicken broth and sundried tomatoes until the tomatoes plump up and warm through (about 5 minutes).  Stir in the goat cheese until melted which will thicken and flavor the sauce.  Spoon over the chicken and serve.

Chop the cauliflower florets off the stem and place in a pot with water.  I added about 2 inches of water in a big pt with the cauliflower florets off both heads.  Put the heat on high and allow the cauliflower to cook in the boiling water.  Stir the cauliflower after a few minutes to make sure each piece cooks through.  After about 10 minutes, make sure all pieces are softened.  Drain the water and mash up the cauliflower.  I used an emersion blender which created a great consistency similar to mashed potatoes.  Add in the garlic, chives, Romano cheese, and salt and pepper to taste.  Serve alongside the chicken and you have a delicious hearty meal.  Oh – and my handsome husband loved it <3
