Simply Satisfying Curried Chicken and Vegetable Bake Recipe Is A One-Pan Wonder

I'm a huge fan of sheet pan suppers. They usually prep up fast and they make cleanup a snap. And this Curried Chicken and Vegetable Bake recipe is no exception. Spiced-just-right chicken bakes up golden delicious alongside plenty of veggies — and it's served atop cauliflower rice.  Best of all, with only 273 calories and just 9 grams of fat it's a meal that's as slimming as it is satisfying.

If you're trying to cut back on carbs riced cauliflower is a great alternative to regular white rice. This grain-alternative has a mild flavor that pairs deliciously with almost anything. Plus, it really shines when seasoned with fragrant spices . We mix it with plenty of garlic and curry powder, then roast it before adding the cooked chicken and other vegetables. For the finish, pistachios add a nutty note, while pomegranate arils give the dish a sweet-tart pop. Toss it together for yourself then let us know what you think.
