- Reduce heat to medium. Add onion to pan and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes or until softened slightly. Add mushroom and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, for 3 minutes or until mushrooms have softened. Stir in stock. Add cauliflower. Return chicken to pan. Bring to a simmer. Cover and cook for 7 minutes or until the cauliflower is just tender.
