• Cauliflower – 5oz (1/2 cauliflower head cut into slabs, about 1/2″ thick)

Anti-Inflammatory Crohn’s Chicken Recipe Instructions

Part 1: Cooking the Crohn’s chicken recipe

1. First, flatten the chicken breast either by lightly hammering with a tenderizing mallet (recommended), or by butterflying with a sharp knife. 

2. Heat a large skillet (medium heat) with the olive oil in it

3. Season the chicken on both sides and place in the hot skillet. Cook the chicken for 4-5 minutes each side. Keep the heat low enough so that the chicken cooks all the way through and gets some nice color on the outside. Make sure the chicken is cooked all the way through by piercing it with a knife tip and pulling it open a bit to see if there is any pink.

   

   Pan sear the chicken.

Part 2: Crohn’s Cauliflower recipe

1. While the chicken is cooking, heat another skillet (medium heat) with olive oil, some of the Italian seasoning, and put the cauliflower slabs in on a single layer.

2. Cook until the cauliflower starts to brown on the bottom, turn over and cook the other side. Sprinkle some more Italian seasoning. Remove from the pan when ready.

   

   Roast the cauliflower in pan.

Part 3: Cook the crohn’s peas recipe

1. In the same hot skillet you just took the cauliflower from, put a little more olive oil and the peas. Swirl until the peas are hot, then serve.

   

   Use the same pan to cook the peas.

Part 4: Serve with all ingredients

1. Serve your anit-inflammatory Crohn’s chicken recipe with peas an cauliflower that are anti-inflammatory for your intestinal tract.
