Grilled Mango Chicken with Cauliflower Rice
Our famous recipe for Grilled Mango Chicken. The char of the BBQ and the freshness of the mango is the perfect combination for a flavourful and colorful dinner. The fresh mango provides a hint of sweetness and rich color to this recipe. We frequently surprise guests when serving this mock rice since it truly has the look and texture of the real thing. We recently made this meal for our first At-Home Virtual Health Retreat, where our guests made this meal alongside our chef. It is a delicious, and nutritious, meal.
