Ingredients For Cauliflower Chicken Dish:

• For the chicken cauliflower layer:
• 1 small size cauliflower
• little less than 1/2 cup water too steam cook
• 1 medium-size onion
• 1 chicken breast
• 4 tbsp olive oil
• 1/2 tsp each sweet paprika, salt, black pepper
• For the bechamél sauce:
• 1 heaped tbsp butter
• 2 heaped tbsp flour
• about 3 tbsp olive or vegetable oil until the mixture is runny
• 2 cups of milk salt to taste dash of nutmeg (optional)
• about 1 cup or less shredded mozzarella or kashar cheese

Chicken & Cauliflower Layer:

1. Cut the cauliflower into stems of the same sizes. You can cut away some of the long stems but it’s better to keep them. Try to keep its shape while separating for a prettier look.
   
2. Place them in a wide pan adding less than 1/2 cup water and cook on low heat, until a somewhat soft (not fully soft, it will continue to cook in the oven) lid closed for about 10 minutes. We want to use just enough water to create steam to cook them. You can check from time to time if it needs more. Drain the excess water and set it aside.
3. Sauté diced onions in the same pan with olive until lightly brown. Add cubed chickens and continue to sauté until they turn their color and cooked. Add salt, spices, garlic and give it a good stir. Pour the steamed cauliflowers and gently stir. Transfer the mixture to an oven-safe deep dish baking tray.

The Béchamel Sauce:

1. In a medium-size pan melt butter, add flour and enough olive oil until it is a wet mixture (about 2 tbsp). Stir and sauté until it has a light caramel color. Don’t keep more than that, it can burn and create a bitter taste.
2. While stirring with wire whisk add milk, salt, and nutmeg if you are using and cook until it is thickened and bubbly. It should be a bit runny, you can add a little more milk if needed to adjust the thinkness. Pour the sauce over the chicken cauliflower layer.
   
3. Top it with shredded mozzarella or kashar cheese and cook in a preheated 200C degree oven for about 20-30 minutes or until it is bubbly and a nice golden crust is formed.
   
4. Enjoy 10 minutes after from the oven with a baked potato or a side dish of your choice.
