One Pan Chicken Parmesan Cauliflower Steaks
The best way to create a complete low carb dinner that’s delicious and nutritious.
These really are my favorite dish ever because I don’t need to dirty a ton of pots and pans to make a complete meal, including my protein and vegetable all in one pan. I absolutely love the combination of flavors and you can use any sauce you prefer, pesto, marinara, roasted peppers or salsa.

It would help if you gave the amounts of the seasonings.
OMG amazing , made this and the creamy pransini salad. Flavor bomb and no carbs! Win win! Thanks you for an amazing recipe
Made this last night. Changed it up a bit by using bruschetta instead of marinara because I had tomatoes on hand. It was a hit! Definite do over!!
A wonderful recipe that my kids gobbled up and was sooo easy to make! Thank you!
PS, I didn’t have pesto, so I made a quick substitute with fresh garlic, basil, parm & EVOO which was delicious!
This was amazing! Easy to prepare. The one tweek I made was because I did not have any tomato sauce, so I substituted a thin sliced tomato on top instead. I will def be making this again! Five BIG stars!
This was excellent! I only have 2 changes to make when I make it again, I won’t precook the cauliflower (it got kinda mushy), and I’ll wait to add the mozzarella cheese (it lost any cheese texture & became a shell!). The taste is amazing though! Thank you!
Hi Dianne, I agree with your suggestions! And I’m happy you enjoyed the recipe! Thanks for the rating as well! Cheers!

Tried this recipe tonight and my hubby and I, our kids and their friend who is a picky eater and doesn’t eat vegetables loved it! This will be in our dinner rotation for sure. Super easy to make!
Your amazing
This was so easy and delicious! I used chicken thighs because we prefer dark meat. My family voted that this one is definitely a “do over”. Thank you for sharing this recipe!
Absolutely delicious and so easy. My husband and I both licked the plate and had to debate over who got to take the leftovers to work haha.
I only used two large chicken breasts which I halved- turned out great!
Omg this recipe was so good, I didn’t have mozzarella so used substituted with smoked gouda, it was so good and will be added to my regular rotation!
Thanks so much for sharing

Hey Tea and Biscuits, thank you for bringing this to my attention. I have just updated the post to include the nutritional info. I hope you enjoy the dish!

Making this tonight! Should I halve my chicken breast halves horizontally if they’re really big? About how many ounces would you say yours are? Thanks!
Hi Leslie, I saw this too late! You can and just adjust the bake time! I used thick pieces of chicken breasts
