Instructions
- Preheat oven to 180°C. Line a baking tray with baking paper. In a bowl, whisk together yoghurt, garlic, salt, pepper and half the lemon juice. Pour 3/4 of the mixture in a large bowl. Set remaining yoghurt mix aside. Add chicken and stir to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour to marinate (or longer if preparing ahead).
- In a bowl, mix panko crumbs, parsley and half of the parmesan. Dip each chicken piece in the crumb mixture to coat, and place on prepared baking tray. Discard used marinade.
- Spray chicken with a little oil. Bake for 20 minutes until golden and juices run clear when you slice through the thickest part of the chicken.
- While chicken cooks, bring a large pot of salted water to the boil. Add cauliflower and cook for 5 minutes, or until tender. Drain and place in a food processor. Add olive oil and remaining parmesan and lemon juice. Blitz until smooth.
- In a large salad bowl add slaw mix and reserved yoghurt mix. Toss to combine.
- To serve, divide chicken, coleslaw and mash among 4 plates and garnish with parsley.

Everyone loved the flavours and textures. The yoghurt made the chicken so tender and the cauliflower mash was a great change from potatoes.
