Lauren K is keeping her made-over recipes cooking all the way through June!  Today’s recipe makeover is inspired by Annette McQuown’s Mustard Chicken!

Lauren K’s Made Over Mustard Chicken
As part of my Recipe Makeover Contest, I made over Mustard Chicken submitted by Annette McQuown of Punxatawney, PA. This meal taste great over either the cauliflower rice featured below or instant brown rice. 
Serves 4         
Total Time: 30 minutes
Ingredients
24 ounces chicken breast
Salt and pepper to season
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 cloves of garlic, minced
2 tablespoons butter, divided
¼ cup yellow mustard
¼ cup olive oil mayonnaise
¼ cup cider vinegar
1 tablespoon of honey 
1 large head of cauliflower, cut into 1 inch pieces

Directions
Cut up chicken breast into bite sized pieces, season with salt and pepper and set aside. Cook minced garlic in olive oil for 30 seconds. Add 1 tablespoon butter to melt, add the chicken to the pan and cook until no longer pink in the middle. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the mustard, olive oil mayonnaise, vinegar and honey. Pour the sauce over the cooked chicken and cook over low heat for 15 minutes. 

In a microwave safe bowl with a lid, place all of the cauliflower pieces and 1 tablespoon of water. Cover and cook on high for 4 minutes. Just before the chicken is finished, place the cauliflower in the base of a food processor. Pulse 10 times. Open the lid and use a spoon to mix the cauliflower around. Replace the lid and pulse 10 more times. Pour into a serving bowl. Stir in remaining tablespoon of butter and season with salt and pepper. 

Serve the chicken over the cauliflower rice!
