Ingredients

• 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 4 cups cauliflower florets
• 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 cup coconut milk
• 0.5 cup almond flour
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon onion powder

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large pot, bring water to a boil and steam the cauliflower florets for about 10 minutes until tender. Drain and set aside.

Step 3

While the cauliflower is steaming, combine almond flour, paprika, onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a shallow dish.

Step 4

Dip each chicken breast into the almond flour mixture, ensuring they are well-coated.

Step 5

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown. Transfer the chicken to the prepared baking sheet.

Step 6

Place the chicken in the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes until cooked through.

Step 7

While the chicken is baking, prepare the cauliflower sauce. In a blender or food processor, add the steamed cauliflower, coconut milk, remaining olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, remaining salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy.

Step 8

Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes.

Step 9

Serve the caulipower sauce over the chicken breasts and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
