Ingredients
Chicken Skewers:
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 1 lemon juice and zest, medium
- 4 teaspoon garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon rosemary dried
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- black pepper to taste
- salt to taste
- 24 ounce chicken thigh cut into 1" cubes, boneless, skinless
- 2 zucchini cut into 3/4" inch slices, medium
- ¼ cup feta cheese for garnish
Cauliflower Rice:
- 400 gram cauliflower riced
- 4 tablespoon butter
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- black pepper to taste
- salt to taste
Instructions
- Gather and prep all ingredients. Cut the chicken into 1 to 1 1/2 inch cubes. Slice the zucchini into ~3/4 inch thick pieces.
- Create the marinade by combining the olive oil, juice and zest from lemon, minced garlic, paprika, rosemary, Italian seasoning, and salt and pepper to taste.
- Pour the marinade over the chicken and cover with plastic wrap. Marinade for at least 2 hours, but preferably overnight.
- Pre-heat grill to medium-high. Skewer the chicken and zucchini, alternating between pieces.
- Grill the skewers for 3 minutes per side, rotating 1/4 turn as you go along. Chicken should be charred and fully cooked once finished.
- Prepare the cauliflower rice by adding butter to a pan over medium-high heat. Once melted and bubbling, add in the cauliflower. Season with Italian seasoning and salt and pepper to taste. Stir frequently allowing moisture to release from cauliflower.
- Once cauliflower is tender but has bite, serve with the skewers. Sprinkle feta cheese over the top and enjoy!
