Ingredients

Oven-Baked Chicken:

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon paprika
Salt and pepper to taste

Sautéed Green Beans:

1 pound green beans, ends trimmed
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
Salt and pepper to taste

Mashed Cauliflower:

1 large head of cauliflower, cut into florets
2 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any other low-carb milk of your choice)
Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Place the chicken breasts in a baking dish and drizzle with olive oil.
Season both sides of the chicken breasts with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the center.
Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the green beans to the skillet and sauté for about 5-7 minutes, until they are tender-crisp.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Remove from heat and set aside.
Steam the cauliflower florets until they are very tender.
Drain the cauliflower and transfer it to a large bowl.
Add the butter, almond milk, salt, and pepper to the bowl.
Use a potato masher or immersion blender to mash the cauliflower until it reaches a smooth and creamy consistency.
Adjust the seasoning if needed.
