Instructions
- 1
In a large bowl, whisk together 1 tbsp of the avocado oil (for the chicken), coconut aminos, 1 tbsp lime juice, allspice, smoked paprika, dried thyme, cinnamon, ginger, cayenne, black pepper, and 3/4 tsp salt until combined. Add the chicken thighs and turn to coat thoroughly. Let marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes.

While the chicken marinates, make the cauliflower rice: pulse the cauliflower florets in a food processor in two batches until broken down into rice-sized pieces, about 8–10 one-second pulses per batch. Do not over-process — the pieces should resemble grains of rice, not a paste.
