Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken thighs
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 head Cauliflower
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 0.5 cup Chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a small bowl, mix together garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels and rub them with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Season them generously with the spice mixture.
Place the chicken thighs in a roasting pan and roast in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the skin is crispy.
While the chicken is roasting, prepare the cauliflower rice. Cut the cauliflower into florets and pulse in a food processor until it resembles rice.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the cauliflower rice to the skillet and sauté for about 5 minutes, until tender.
Stir in the chicken broth and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes or until the liquid is absorbed and the cauliflower rice is fully cooked.
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the fresh parsley.
To serve, place a portion of cauliflower rice on a plate and top with one roasted chicken thigh.
Garnish with additional fresh parsley if desired and serve hot.
