Mustard Chicken with Cauliflower Puree


This is super yummy, very different. You will need a food processor.

Ingredients:
2 chicken breasts cut in half
salt/pepper
olive oil
2 TBSP butter
1/2 cup green onions-chopped
juice from 1/2 lime
1 1/2 TBSP Dijon mustard
1 - 1 1/2 cups chicken broth - depending how much sauce you want
*sliced mushrooms (optional)

PUREE
head of cauliflower
salt/pepper
2 TBSP butter
parsley
1/4 tsp cayenne
parmesan cheese
milk

Cut up cauliflower into large florets and boil.

Prepare large pan with olive oil and butter over med-high heat. Put the breast halves in a gallon plastic bag and flatten with a meat tenderizer. Season with salt and pepper and transfer to the pan. Cook about 4 minutes on each side then remove them to a plate and cover.

Add green onions, mustard, lime juice and mushrooms to the pan. Stir around a bit then add chicken broth. Let cook down to desired consistency and transfer chicken back to pan to warm and remove from heat.

Drain cauliflower and puree in food processor with butter, salt, pepper, cayenne, parsley, parmesan (i use about 1/4 cup) and enough milk to make creamy texture. Serve under prepared chicken and sauce.

Also good over rice or with regular mashed potatoes. :)

**Allergy-free substitutions:

Milk-So Delicious Unsweetened Coconut Milk or Almond Breeze Original
Omit cheese and add a little more spice!
