Ingredients
Instructions
For this recipe use skinless chicken leg and thigh.
If you want to boil the cauliflower, place a pot filled with water over high heat until boiling.
Meanwhile, season the chicken with half of the olive oil, minced garlic and thyme. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Cook the chicken in a preheated oven at 356 °F (180 °C) for 15-20 minutes depending on the thickness of the chicken piece.
If you wish, instead of using the oven, you can place a pan over high heat and once heated, add the chicken and cook for 5-6 minutes per side over medium heat.
Simultaneously, place the cauliflower florets in the pot filled with boiling water. Boil for 3-4 minutes. Remove and set aside.
If you wish, you can cook in the microwave for 5 minutes.
Use a hand blender or food processor to blend the cauliflower with the remaining olive oil, milk and salt to taste until creamy.
Serve the thyme chicken with mashed cauliflower hot on a plate.
