Ingredients

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 425° F (220° C). Heat oil in a 12-inch cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat and sear chicken thighs skin side down for 3-4 minutes or until browned.

Meanwhile, place cauliflower in a microwave-safe bowl with 2-3 tablespoons of water, cover with a plate, and cook for about 3-4 minutes, or until tender yet firm.

Flip the thighs and bake for about 18-20 minutes. Transfer the baked chicken to a plate and cover with aluminum foil.

Using the same pan, melt butter over medium heat and whisk in heavy cream, salt and pepper, cream cheese, and cheese until sauce is smooth and thick.
