Herb Butter Basted Chicken with Creamy Cauliflower Mash

Ingredients

• 2 chicken breast
• 1 tbsp clarified butter
• 5 tbsp unsalted butter
• 2 tbsp fresh chives
• 4 cups cauliflower florets
• 2 cups green beans
• 1 tsp sea salt
• 0.5 tsp garlic powder
• 0.25 cup cream
• 0.5 cup chicken broth
• 1 shallot
• 0.25 cup water
• 1 tbsp dry milk
• 1 tsp parsley flakes

Instructions

1. 1Steam cauliflower florets until very tender. Mash with 2 tbsp unsalted butter, cream, dry milk, 1/2 tsp sea salt, garlic powder, and cream of tartar until smooth. Keep warm.
2. 2Heat clarified butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes per side until golden.

Stir in half of the fresh chives.
3. 3While chicken cooks, steam green beans in 1/4 cup water with a pinch of sea salt until tender-crisp.
