DIRECTIONS
- Preheat oven to 425
°
F.
- Place the chicken breasts into a bowl. Add cumin, ground chili, paprika, garlic powder and S&P to taste. Splash with olive oil generously. Mix well until the chicken breasts are coated in spices all around. Cover and set aside to marinate.
- Break the cauliflower into small florets. Working in batches, place the cauliflower florets into a food processor (if you don't have a food processor, you can use a large grater). Pulse the cauliflower until it reaches a rice-like consistency (be careful not to over-process it, or it will turn into mush). Set aside.
- Over medium high, heat a splash of olive oil in a cast iron or an oven proof pan. When oil starts to smoke, place the chicken breasts into the pan. Sear until golden brown, about 2 min on each side. Add sliced red onion around the chicken breasts and transfer the pan to the oven. Roast until cooked through, about 15-20 min. Once done, remove from the oven, rest and slice.
- While the chicken roasts, make avocado crema. Combine half of the cilantro, jalapeño, green onions, garlic, 1/2 avocado and plain yogurt in a food processor. Squeeze half of the lime and S&P to taste. Process until smooth and set aside (if the sauce is too thick, add another tbsp of yogurt).
- Over medium high heat a splash of olive oil in a large pan. Add cauliflower rice, juice of the remaining lime and S&P to taste. Saute, stirring often until it starts to soften and heat through. Remove from heat and fold in the rest of chopped cilantro.
- Plate the cauliflower rice, add chopped lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, remaining avocado and roasted red onions. Place the sliced chicken on top. Drizzle with avocado crema and enjoy!
