steps
- 1.
Preheat your grill or skillet over medium heat.
- 2.
In a small bowl, mix olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper to create a marinade.
- 3.
Coat the chicken breasts with the marinade and let them sit for 15-20 minutes to absorb flavors.

Cook the chicken on the grill or in a skillet for 6-7 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.

While the chicken cooks, heat a separate pan over medium heat and add the chicken broth, zucchini, spinach, and cooked cauliflower. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the veggies are soft.

Once the chicken is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it.
- 7.
Divide the sautéed vegetables between two bowls, top with sliced chicken, and drizzle with any remaining marinade.
