Sage Chicken PIcatta on PLate

This Sage Chicken Picatta with Cauliflower Mashed Potatoes dish is literally one of the best things I’ve created in a while. It packs a lot of flavors and healthy ingredients giving you that comfort food feeling but guess what? This is Gluten-Free and very light. Cauliflower mash is made with whole pure ingredients, the chicken is dipped in arrowroot flour, and that picatta sauce is just delicious.

I love cooking with herbs and sage is one of those under-used herbs that has one of the best earthy flavors. I had chicken in the fridge and some sage leftover from the other night. So this was definitely created spur of the moment and with a craving of sage and something comforting. Add a side of warm bursting charred tomatoes, and holy cow. These tomatoes just add the juicy lightness to the whole thing.

Variations

Make it whole 30: omit the white wine and add a little more lemon juice

Don’t have arrowroot: use tapioca or gluten-free flour. If gluten isn’t a problem for you, use regular flour mix.

If you’re drooling yet, make this recipe ASAP. I can assure you, it’s going to be a family favorite. My boys devoured the entire plate. Comfort food at it’s best with real whole foods.
