Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 head cauliflower, chopped into florets
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a small bowl, mix together the salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
Rub the chicken breasts with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sprinkle with the spice mixture, coating the chicken evenly.
In a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
Once hot, add the chicken breasts to the skillet and sear each side for about 3 minutes until golden brown.
Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the butter and chopped cauliflower florets.
Stir and cook the cauliflower for about 5 minutes until it begins to soften and develop some color.
Place the chicken breasts back into the skillet, nestling them into the cauliflower.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the cauliflower is tender.
Remove the skillet from the oven and drizzle the lemon juice over the chicken and cauliflower.
Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
Serve immediately, enjoying a satisfying low-carb meal.
