Preparation
  1. Start by gathering all the ingredients. Wash and chop the cauliflower, mince the garlic, and set aside.
Marinate the Chicken

  2. Coat the chicken breasts thoroughly with the marinade and set aside for about 10-15 minutes to absorb the flavors.

  2. Sear the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until cooked through and golden. Once done, remove from the skillet and set aside.
Prepare the Cauliflower Mash
  1. In a large pot, boil water and add the chopped cauliflower. Cook for about 10 minutes or until tender.
  2. Drain the cauliflower and return it to the pot. Add heavy cream, butter, salt, and pepper. Mash until smooth and creamy.
Plate Your Dish
  1. Serve a generous scoop of cauliflower mash on each plate, top with the mustard chicken, and garnish with fresh parsley.

Notes

If Dijon mustard isn’t available, you can use whole grain mustard. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for 2 months.
