Urban Recipes
By Christina Jeffrey
summer is the perfect time to fire up the grill for chicken. However Sometimes we all just want a little variation especially in the warmer months. There's nothing better then BBQ chicken and Mash, however I have a healthier option for you!
Nothing beats the combination of BBQ chicken and mash, add the lemon sauce and wow it's delicious!
This BBQ Lemon Chicken With Mashed Cauliflower is extremely comforting. With the lemon sauce it makes this dish very flavourful too. The chicken is easy to prepare, place on the BBQ and grill, baste with the lemon sauce and it's ready in 30 to 40 minutes. Serve with Urban Baker Co. Savoury Buttery Cheese Biscuits.
