Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken thighs, boneless and skinless
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
- 1 medium Bell pepper, diced
- 1 cup Canned coconut milk
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons Coconut aminos
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 4 cups Cauliflower, riced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Season the chicken thighs with salt, paprika, and pepper.
Add the chicken thighs to the skillet and cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and chopped onion. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the onion becomes translucent.
Add the diced bell pepper and continue to sauté for another 2 minutes.
Stir in the coconut milk, chicken broth, and coconut aminos. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
Add the chicken thighs back into the skillet, cover, and simmer for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Meanwhile, in another pan, heat a bit of olive oil over medium heat and add the riced cauliflower. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes until tender.
Once the cauliflower rice is cooked, stir in the lemon juice and season with a pinch of salt.
To serve, place a portion of cauliflower rice on each plate, top with a chicken thigh and some of the savory sauce.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
