About the Recipe

​

Ingredients


  • 5 chicken fillets or thighs (about 1 1/2 lbs of meat) Marinade

  • 1⁄4 cup extra-virgin olive oil

  • 2 tsp dried oregano

  • 6 cloves garlic

  • 3⁄4 tsp garlic salt (or Himalayan pink salt)

  • Juice of 1⁄2 lime

  • Juice of 1⁄2 lemon

Roasted Root Vegetables

  • 1 1⁄2 lbs of root vegetables of your choice -

beets, sweet potatoes, parsnips, or carrots

  • 1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil

  • Garlic salt (or Himalayan pink salt) to taste

Cauliflower Rice

  • 1 head cauliflower

  • 1⁄2 red onion

  • 1⁄4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

  • 1 Tbsp coconut oil

  • 1 tsp turmeric

  • Zest of 1⁄2 lemon

  • Garlic salt (or Himalayan pink salt) to taste

Preparation

1.Preheat the oven to 360°F


2.Peel and dice the root vegetables, and mix in a bowl with a

tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil and garlic salt to taste.

Place in a roasting pan and then roast in the oven for 30

minutes.


3. In a large bowl, mix together the marinade ingredients.

Place the chicken in the bowl and stir to coat.


4.Spread the coated chicken fillets (or thighs) out on a large

ovenproof dish (or baking tray). Roast in the oven for 20

-25 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.


5. In the meantime, remove all greens from the cauliflower and

chop into small pieces. Then, either grate the cauliflower

(which can take longer) or use a food processor to ‘grate’

into cauliflower rice. Once ready, dry off with paper towels.


6. Saute half a red onion with the cilantro stalks in a large

skillet with a tablespoon of coconut oil. After 3 minutes add

the cauliflower rice, turmeric, and lemon zest, and saute for

a further 5 minutes. Flavor with garlic salt or Himalayan

pink salt.


Distribute the prepared meals into your storage containers in an orderly fashion, beginning with the cauliflower rice, followed by the roasted vegetables, and finally crowning it with the herby chicken.
