Prepare the Whipped Cauliflower

Drain, reserving ½ cup of the cooking water. In same pot, add cauliflower, half the garlic, cream cheese, and a pinch of salt and pepper. With a fork or whisk, mash ingredients together until smooth with only a few lumps. If necessary, use reserved cooking water to make whipped cauliflower smoother. Keep warm until ready to serve.

Prepare the Gremolata
In a mixing bowl, combine the capers, lemon zest, lemon juice, remaining garlic, parsley, green onions (reserving a pinch for garnish), and 1 tsp. olive oil. With a fork or wooden spoon, gently mash the ingredients together to release the aromatics of the lemon and herbs. Add a pinch of salt and pepper and keep at room temperature until ready to serve.

Bake the Chicken
In a separate mixing bowl, combine the chopped thyme, rosemary, and 2 tsp. olive oil and mix. Add the chicken breasts and evenly coat with herb mixture. Arrange coated chicken on the lined baking sheet, add salt and pepper to taste, and bake on middle rack for 12-14 minutes or until internal temperature reaches a minimum of 165 degrees. Once done, let chicken rest before serving.
