Main Dish
These chickens were nothing short of amazing! Coach Loli had contractors who were willing to give up their Sunday to work on her house so feeding them seemed the right thing to do. Although simple, the meal was absolutely LCHF friendly. She and Mr. Coach, the designated chicken cutter upper, served the chicken alongside some simple cauliflower rice Mr. Coach made with ghee and EVOO.

Ingredients
- For the chicken:
- 4-ish pound chicken
- 1/8 Cup Extra virgin olive oil
- Juice of one half lemon
- 1/8 teaspoon thyme
- 1/4 teaspoon rosemary
- Pinch of salt and pepper
- For the cauliflower rice
- 2 packages frozen diced cauliflower
- 1/8 Cup Extra virgin olive oil
- 1/8 Cup ghee (butter will work as well)
- 1/8 Cup chopped parsley
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Combine the olive oil, lemon juice, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper in a small blender or magic bullet and blend until it's a completely incorporated slurry. Set this aside.
- Clean and dry your chickens and put them in your roasting pan. Rub the slurry all over your chickens and let them sit until the oven comes to temp.
- Put the chickens in the oven and bake for 75 minutes (of course you might need to go longer depending on your oven and where you live). Remove from the oven and allow to carry-over.
- While the chickens are baking heat the packages of cauliflower in a bowl in the microwave for about 6 minutes - or until they are thawed (if frozen) and have started to give up juice. Place in a clean tea towel and wring out all of the water.
- Heat EVOO and ghee (or butter) in a skillet and add dry cauliflower. Sautee cauliflower with salt and pepper until it is heated through. Turn off heat and add in chopped parsley.
- Serve up the chicken and cauliflower rice and enjoy!
