1
Combine all marinade/dressing ingredients in a small bowl and whisk until emulsified.On a flat surface, pound the chicken breasts until theyre uniform height. This step is optional but recommended because it speeds up the cooking time and makes sure the chicken breasts cook evenly.

2
Add the chicken breasts to a shallow container and pour half of the dressing over them. Marinade for at least 30 minutes to 2 hours.Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Trim the leaves off the cauliflower and break the florets into chunks. Working in batches if you have to, add the florets to a food processor and pulse until the florets break into rice-sized crumbles.
