- 4 chicken thighs boneless, skinless
- 1/2 head cauliflower
- 1 red onion chopped
- 1 shallot chopped

- 4 tbsps olive oil extra virgin
- 2 tbsp vegetable stock
- 1 tbsp thyme fresh, chopped
- 2 tbsp parsley fresh, chopped
- 4 cloves garlic diced
- salt and pepper to taste
- 4 cups baby spinach for serving
Instructions
- Cook the Chicken: In a skillet over medium-high heat, warm 2 tablespoons of avocado oil. Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper, then cook until golden brown and cooked through. Set aside once done.
