- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest

STEPS
Step 1
Set oven to 420F/216C.
Step 2
Season chicken thighs in a large bowl. Let them rest/marinate for at least 20 minutes.
Step 3
Spray an oven safe nonstick skillet with a little olive oil, then place on medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, toss in the marinated chicken thighs. Sear on each side for 2 to 3 minutes until the outside has dark edges and is crispy. Place in the oven and bake for 6 to 10 minutes.
Step 4
Add cauliflower florets to a food processor and pulse blend to create cauliflower “couscous.” Add it a bowl along with the remaining ingredients. Fold and mix everything together and season to taste with sea salt & pepper (and any other of the ingredients EXCEPT for oil).
