Making a healthy dinner can sometimes seem like a big project. While there are times I like to take my time in the kitchen, sometimes I want something quick and easy that I can feel good about. I came up with this cheesey cauliflower rice bake by using what was in my freezer to make a healthy and satisfying dinner. If you have some frozen broccoli or cauliflower rice sitting in your freezer, try it out!

Here’s what you’ll need:

• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 pound chicken breast, cut into 1-inch pieces
• 1 tbsp garlic powder
• salt & pepper to taste
• 1 package frozen cauliflower rice
• 2 cups steamed broccoli florets
• 2 tbsp butter
• 1 tbsp arrowroot starch or corn starch
• 1 cup light cream
• 1/2 cup parmesan cheese
• 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella
