Ingredients

—Chicken breasts — 2
—Coconut milk (tinned) — 200 ml
—Lime
—Ground ginger — 1 tsp
—Ground turmeric — 1 tsp
—Cauliflower — 1 head
—Olive oil — 2 tbsp
—Cilantro, salt

Method

01Mix the coconut milk, lime juice, grated ginger and turmeric in a bowl. Add the chicken pieces and turn to coat every piece in the marinade. Leave for 10 minutes — this gives the spices time to penetrate the meat.
02Heat a pan over medium heat. Add the chicken along with all the marinade and cook for 12 minutes, turning occasionally. To check it is cooked through, cut into the thickest piece — the juices should run clear, not pink.
03For the cauliflower rice: heat oil in a separate pan, add the riced cauliflower and sauté for 6 minutes, stirring, until soft and slightly golden. Season with salt.
04Spoon the cauliflower rice onto the plate and top with the chicken and sauce. Scatter chopped cilantro on top for freshness.

Why this works

Cauliflower is a cruciferous vegetable containing compounds studied for their role in estrogen metabolism, though evidence is still preliminary. Coconut's MCTs and lean chicken help keep blood sugar steady in the evening. Turmeric contains curcumin, studied for its anti-inflammatory properties.
