Ingredients
  

For Chicken:

  • 32 ounce bone-in skin-on chicken thighs
  • 4 tablespoon olive oil
  • 4 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 3 tablespoon fresh oregano chopped
  • 2 teaspoon fresh thyme chopped
  • 3 teaspoon fresh garlic minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste

For Cauliflower Mash:

  • 16 ounce cauliflower
  • 3 ounce parmesan cheese grated
  • 8 tablespoon unsalted butter melted
  • ½ medium lemon juice + zest

Instructions
 

  • Measure out and prepare all ingredients.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, thyme, garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix together well.
  • Add the chicken thighs into the bowl and coat them fully with the marinade.
  • Cover and put the bowl in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, rotating the chicken thighs every hour if possible.
  • Preheat the oven to 400F when the chicken has almost finished marinating. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Remove the chicken from the marinade bowl and place the chicken on the parchment paper.
  • Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165F and skin is golden brown in color.
  • Cut the cauliflower into small florets.
  • Boil a pot of water with a dash of salt. Add the cauliflower and boil it for a few minutes – the cauliflower should be cooked, yet firm. Strain the cauliflower and discard the water.
  • Put the cooked cauliflower in a food processor with parmesan cheese, melted butter, and the juice and zest from the lemon. Pulse until the consistency is smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Plate the cauliflower mash with the chicken on top and add additional salt and pepper if desired. Serve with a lemon and enjoy!
