Ingredients


454 gm Chicken breast, boneless, skinless (boneless, skinless; approx. 4 breasts)
1 medium Lemon (zested and juiced)
2 tbsp Parsley, fresh (fresh; chopped)
2 tbsp Thyme, fresh (fresh; chopped)
3 clove(s) Garlic (minced)
2 tbsp Olive Oil, Extra Virgin
1 pinch Salt and pepper (to taste)
1 large head Cauliflower (grated or processed into rice-sized pieces)
1 tbsp Olive Oil, Extra Virgin
1 pinch Salt and pepper (to taste)
1 tbsp Parsley, fresh (fresh; chopped (optional garnish))

Instructions


  • Prepare the Chicken Marinade: In a large mixing bowl, combine lemon juice, lemon zest, chopped parsley, thyme, garlic, and olive oil. Season with salt and pepper and mix well.

  • Marinate the Chicken: Add chicken breasts to the bowl, ensuring each piece is well coated in the marinade. Cover and let it marinate for at least 10 minutes (or up to 2 hours in the fridge for deeper flavor).

  • Cook the Chicken: Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add a bit of olive oil if needed. Place marinated chicken in the skillet and cook for 6-8 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F).

  • Prepare Cauliflower Rice: While the chicken cooks, heat olive oil in another large skillet over medium heat. Add the cauliflower rice, season with salt and pepper, and sauté for 5-7 minutes until tender.

  • Serve: Divide the cauliflower rice onto plates, place the cooked chicken on top, and garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
