Ingredients

Servings
  • 1 lb chicken breast slices on half lengthways, boneless skinless
  • 1 tsp lemon pepper seasoning
  • 1 tsp garlic salt
  • 3 tbsp flour
  • 2 tbsp olive oil divided
  • 3-4 garlic roughly chopped, cloves
  • 1 medium lemon juiced
  • 1 tbsp lemon zest
  • 1 cup chicken stock
  • 4 cups cauliflower rice fresh or frozen and thawed
  • 2 tbsp cilantro minced
  • lemon slices, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Season the chicken with lemon-pepper seasoning and garlic salt, then lightly coat in flour.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Add the cauliflower rice and cook, stirring frequently for 5 minutes, or until tender and flavored.
  5. Return the chicken back to the pan, over the cauliflower rice.
  6. 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.
