Directions:
In a small bowl combine the coriander, cumin,  salt, ginger and pepper. Rub the spice mixture over the chicken breasts.
Heat an outdoor grill to medium.
Grill the chicken, turning it over halfway through cooking for about 10 to 15 minutes each side or until cooked through. 
If grilling outdoors isn't an option, you can broil the chicken 4 inches from the heat for the same amount of time. Set aside and let cool slightly.
In a medium bowl, toss together the yellow squash, zucchini, red onion, cilantro or  parsley, lemon juice, oil, salt, and pepper until well combined.
Portion out cauliflower rice between two plates. Place half the chicken with half the squash relish on each plate.
