Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 450 degrees. Wash and dry produce. Pat @cauliflower rice{2%cups} dry with paper towels. Trim, peel, and cut @carrots{2%pieces} lengthwise into quarters; slice into 1⁄2-inch pieces. Thinly slice @scallions{2%pieces}, separating whites from greens.

Place @butter{2%tbsp} in a #medium microwave-safe bowl{}. Cover with plastic wrap and microwave until melted ~{30%seconds}. Stir in cauliflower rice, @panko breadcrumbs{¼%cup}, @parmesan cheese{¼%cup}, @salt{1%pinch}, and @black pepper{1%pinch}. Set aside until ready to use.

Pat @chicken thighs{12%oz} dry with paper towels. Heat a drizzle of @cooking oil{1%tbsp} in a #large ovenproof pan{} over medium-high heat. Add chicken, @dried thyme{1%tsp}, salt, and pepper to pan. Cook, stirring occasionally, until chicken is browned and cooked through ~{5%minutes}. Turn off heat; transfer to a plate. Wipe out pan.

Heat a large drizzle of oil in pan used for chicken over medium-high heat. Add carrots, scallion whites, and @garlic powder{½%tsp}. Cook, stirring occasionally, until veggies begin to soften ~{3%minutes}. Return chicken to pan. Evenly sprinkle @flour{2%tbsp} over chicken and veggies and cook, stirring, until no lumps remain ~{30%seconds}. Add @water{1¼%cups} and @chicken stock concentrate{1%unit}. Cook, stirring, until sauce has thickened ~{3%minutes}. Remove from heat. Stir in @peas{1%cup} and @cream cheese{2%oz} until combined. Taste and season with salt and pepper if desired.

Smooth chicken and veggie mixture out in an even layer with the back of a spoon. If your pan isn’t ovenproof, transfer filling to an #8-by-8-inch baking dish{} now. Sprinkle with cauliflower-Parmesan topping. Bake on top rack until topping is golden brown ~{12%minutes}.

Garnish chicken bake with scallion greens. Divide between plates or serve family style directly from pan.
