I can not believe that I spent a good majority of 27 years of my life not eating cauliflower, I can not believe how much I deprived myself of such a delicious treat. Now I am just intrigued to try it with every different flavor combination I can dream of. So here you go, a great summer time grilled chicken with a versatile, delicious marinade and an easy way to saute up some amazing Cauliflower.

Total time
Serves: 4
Ingredients
Lemon Dijon Chicken
- 2-4 boneless chicken breasts
- 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 1 tbsp dijon mustard
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tbsp organic honey
- 2 tsps dried thyme
- 1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 tsp cayenne pepper
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp pepper
Cauliflower CousCous
- 1/2 head of cauliflower
- 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1/2 cup chopped almonds, consistency of your choice (you can substitute any nuts that you want)
- 1 whole mango peeled and diced
- 1 tbsp coconut oil
- pinch of sea salt
Instructions
Lemon Dijon Chicken
- Place all marinade ingredients and mix well
- Add the chicken to the bowl and ensure an even coating of all the meat
- Cover chicken and refrigerate for at least 3 hours but up to 2 days.
- Once marinated, grill over medium heat only flipping once until cooked through.
- Serve over a bed of the Mango CousCous below
Cauliflower CousCous
- Heat a frying pan over medium heat
- Add the coconut oil until it melts
- Pulse all of your cauliflower in your food processor until it is like a rice size or small, this is all personal preference. I just let it keep going until it resembles CousCous
- Transfer the cauliflower to a seperate bowl, now use your processor to chop your almonds up. You don’t have to use a food processor you can Slap Chop if you have one too, add the almonds to the cauliflower
- Now place your diced mango in the food processor and pulse until it is broken down to small chunks, don’t pulse too much or you will end up with mango salsa
- Add the cauliflower, almonds, and coconut to your saute pan and turn the heat up to medium high
- Cook for about 5 minutes stirring often and then add your Mango
- Continue to cook until done to your liking, I keep cooking mine until it turns slightly brown and it is always perfect
- Serve with your delicious grilled chicken and enjoy

Genius. That is my new favorite way to have cauliflower… will be tough to top that one!
Woot woot
This marinade is amazing! Hubby loved it! Used thighs & Marinaded for only 3 hrs and still scrumptious!
Awesome. This is definitely one of My favorites
I made both of these last night, what a well rounded paleo meal. My first attempts disguising cauliflower as pasta and I loved it. Thanks for sharing!
