Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/2 cup orange juice
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 head cauliflower, grated into rice-sized pieces
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for cauliflower rice)

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, whisk together orange juice, Dijon mustard, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper.
  2. Place chicken breasts in a resealable bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.

  5. Add grated cauliflower and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until tender.
  6. Stir in chopped parsley, cilantro, salt, and pepper. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
  7. Serve chicken breasts over herbed cauliflower rice and drizzle with any remaining pan juices.

Notes

  • Chicken can be grilled or baked for variation.

  • For extra flavor, add a splash of lemon juice to the cauliflower rice.
