Sun-dried Tomato Chicken over Cauliflower Mash

Winter Storm Jonas delivered an awesome 30 inches of snow to my area, so my usual meal prep Sunday did not happen. I was able to get to the grocery store Monday afternoon and prepped this meal in under an hour. The original recipe calls for 4lb of chicken drumsticks, which I did not opt for. I used 2lbs of chicken breasts and kept the other ingredients the same. I paired it with a really simple Cauliflower Mash recipe that I formed over the years and it was a yummy meal!

Sun-dried Tomato Chicken over Cauliflower Mash
Ingredients:

• 2 lbs. chicken breasts, with or without the skin (original recipe called for 4lbs of chicken drumsticks if you would rather use that)
• 2 green onions, thinly sliced (I didn't have green onions, so I just used 1/4 of a yellow onion) 
• ¼ cup olive oil
• ¼ cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped (make sure the ingredients only has olive oil and herbs!)
• 2 tbsp. balsamic vinegar
• 1 tsp. dried oregano
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Directions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350 F.
2. In a bowl, combine the sun-dried tomatoes, balsamic vinegar, oregano, garlic, olive oil, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
3. Arrange the drumsticks in a single layer in a cooking dish, and pour the tomato mixture on top.
4. Sprinkle the green onions over everything in the dish, and bake for 30 (45 if you are doing the 4lbs of drumsticks) minutes, or until the chicken is well cooked.

Cauliflower Mash 
Ingredients:

• 2 heads of cauliflower
• 1/2 cup coconut milk (I use the thick part at the top of the can, then slowly add a little bit more of the liquid part if needed)
• 2 tsp Garlic Powder (this is an estimate, I sprinkled in a little at a time until it was to my liking)
• Sea salt and freshly cracked pepper to taste

Directions:

1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil.
2. Cut the cauliflower into florets. Place in the boiling water and cook for anywhere from 10 to 15 minutes, until the cauliflower is tender. Check this by poking it with a fork.
3. Strain the cauliflower from the water and place into your food processor. Add the coconut milk, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Blend until smooth in texture. Taste the mash and adjust the spices to your liking if needed!
