Before You Start

Rice the cauliflower in a food processor or buy it already riced.

How To Make It
  1. Heat the oven to 425°F.
  2. Rub the chicken with half the olive oil, the garlic, salt, pepper and half the lemon juice.
  3. Roast the chicken 20 to 22 minutes until it reads 165°F, then rest it 5 minutes.
    165°F
  4. Meanwhile cook the cauliflower rice in the rest of the oil in a skillet over medium-high heat for 5 minutes until tender, then stir in the spinach for 1 minute until wilted.
  5. Slice the chicken over the vegetables and spoon the rest of the lemon juice and the parsley over the top.
  6. To keep it: cool it within 2 hours, portion it into a shallow lidded container and keep the parsley separate, refrigerate up to 3 days, then reheat it covered for 2 to 3 minutes until steaming and 165°F in the center.
    165°F
Fix It: If the cauliflower rice turns soggy, spread it out and cook 2 more minutes over high heat until dry.
Air Fryer
  1. Heat the air fryer to 380F.
  2. Add the ingredients you would cook on the stove or in the oven in a single layer, without crowding the basket.
  3. Cook for about 22 minutes, shaking the basket halfway, until cooked through and lightly crisp.
  4. Let it rest a minute, then finish and plate the dish as written in the steps above.
Microwave
  1. Add the ingredients you would cook together to a microwave safe bowl along with their liquid.
  2. Cover loosely and microwave in one minute bursts, stirring between each, until hot through.
  3. Let it stand for a minute, then finish and plate the dish as written in the steps above.
