Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place the cauliflower florets into a food processor and pulse until finely grated, resembling rice. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and add garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, paprika, and dried oregano. Mix well.
Dip each chicken breast into the egg mixture, ensuring all surfaces are covered.
Press each egg-coated chicken breast firmly into the grated cauliflower, ensuring a full, even coating forms on each piece.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the cauliflower-coated chicken breasts for 3 minutes on each side or until a golden crust begins to form.
Transfer the chicken breasts onto the prepared baking sheet and drizzle with lemon juice.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (75°C).
Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Enjoy your low-sodium caulipower chicken alongside your favorite steamed vegetables or a fresh salad.
