Serves 4

For marinade:

1 tsp. dried thyme leaves
1 tsp. ground allspice
2 tbsp. brown sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
2 tsp. garlic powder
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. cayenne
2 tbsp. olive oil
2 tbsp. lime juice

Chicken and rice:

1 lb. chicken breast
14 oz. cauliflower rice
2 tbsp. coconut oil
1 onion, diced
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 cup canned light coconut milk
1 lime, zest and juice
handful cilantro, to garnish
lime wedges, to serve

Combine all marinade ingredients in a bowl or container. Add chicken breasts and turn to coat in marinade. Leave to marinate for at least 15 minutes.

Heat the 1 tbsp. coconut oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Add in the onion and sauté for 3 minutes, until softened.

Next, add in the garlic and cauliflower rice, cook for 2 minutes and add in coconut milk. Cook for about 10 minutes, or until the coconut milk is absorbed, then remove from heat and stir in the lime zest and juice. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.

In the meantime, heat the remaining oil in another pan over medium heat and cook the chicken for 8-10 mins until cooked through and browned. Once cooked serve with the cauliflower rice.

Garnish the rice with chopped cilantro and serve with lime wedges.
