grill chicken breasts. while chicken is cooking, place cauliflower on baking sheet with 1 tablespoon olive oil. coat cauliflower and broil for 5-10 minutes or until browned and crispy.  remove and set aside.

when chicken is done, remove from grill and allow to cool. place pasta in boiling water and cook according to package directions.
