- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh, chopped Parsley
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Place the cauliflower florets into a food processor and pulse until finely grated, resembling rice. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.

In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and add garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, paprika, and dried oregano. Mix well.
Step 4
Dip each chicken breast into the egg mixture, ensuring all surfaces are covered.
Step 5
Press each egg-coated chicken breast firmly into the grated cauliflower, ensuring a full, even coating forms on each piece.
Step 6
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the cauliflower-coated chicken breasts for 3 minutes on each side or until a golden crust begins to form.
Step 7
Transfer the chicken breasts onto the prepared baking sheet and drizzle with lemon juice.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (75°C).
Step 9
Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Step 10
Enjoy your low-sodium caulipower chicken alongside your favorite steamed vegetables or a fresh salad.
