Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 medium, chopped onion
- 3 minced garlic cloves
- 1 large head, grated into rice-sized pieces cauliflower
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 0.25 cup, chopped fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
Instructions
Season the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, and paprika on both sides.
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat.
Add the seasoned chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, until golden brown and fully cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining olive oil and the unsalted butter.
Add the chopped onion to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes until translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the grated cauliflower to the skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring frequently, until the cauliflower is tender.
Pour in the chicken broth and lemon juice. Stir to combine and allow the mixture to simmer for an additional 3 minutes.
Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, nestling them into the cauliflower rice.
Cover the skillet and let it simmer for an additional 5 minutes to heat the chicken through and meld the flavors.
Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the chicken and cauliflower rice before serving.
Serve hot and enjoy this delicious keto-friendly meal!
