- 2 tbsp Greek yoghurt or sour cream
Instructions

- Heat the remaining olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add in the cauliflower, paprika and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally for 5 minutes then transfer to a serving dish.

Notes
This meal tastes great with cold or hot chicken. If you are eating straight away, you can reheat the chicken by tossing it in the pan after you’ve removed the cauliflower.
If you are preparing this for work, keep the chicken and cauliflower in one container and the remaining elements in another container. This way, you can reheat the chicken and cauliflower in the microwave if you desire.
