Ingredients
- 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts slices on half lengthways
- 1 tsp lemon-pepper seasoning
- 1 tsp garlic salt
- 3 tbsp flour
- 2 tbsp olive oil divided
- 3-4 garlic cloves roughly chopped
- 1 medium lemon juiced
- 1 tbsp lemon zest
- 1 cup chicken stock
- 4 cups cauliflower rice fresh or frozen and thawed
- 2 tbsp minced cilantro
- Lemon slices to garnish
Instructions
- Season the chicken with lemon-pepper seasoning and garlic salt, then lightly coat in flour.
- Heat half of the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry the chicken breast in two batches until golden brown on both sides, and cooked through. (about 3-4 minutes on each side). Set aside on a clean chopping board, sit for 5 minutes, then slice it.
- To the same pan add the garlic, lemon juice, zest, and stock. Bring to a boil and allow it to reduce by half, stirring frequently through the bottom of the pan.
- Add the cauliflower rice and cook, stirring frequently for 5 minutes, or until tender and flavored.
- Return the chicken back to the pan, over the cauliflower rice.
- Garnish with cilantro and lemon slices.
Notes
- We recommend you use chicken breast. They are leaner and healthier. But if you must, you can use boneless and skinless chicken thighs.
- Rice your own cauliflower, or to save on time, use pre-packed frozen cauliflower. Thaw ahead before using.
- Use fresh lemon if you can. Bottled lemon just doesn't taste as great.
- If you don't have chicken stock, use vegetable stock.
- Try to use fresh garlic cloves for optimum flavor. If you don't have any handy, use garlic powder.
