15 Minute Garlic Butter Chicken With Parmesan Cauliflower Rice


I- Ingredients


The chicken



  • 2 large boneless and skinless chicken breasts halved horizontally to make 4

  • 1/2 cup fresh Parmesan, finely grated

  • Salt and fresh cracked pepper

  • 1 teaspoon paprika

  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter divided

For the cauliflower rice



  • 3 cups riced cauliflower (about 1 medium head)

  • 1/2 cup white onion, chopped

  • 4 large cloves garlic minced

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable stock

  • Juice and zest of one lime

  • Red chili pepper flakes, optional

  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley chopped

II- Directions


The Chicken:



  • In a shallow plate, combine parmesan cheese, grated garlic, paprika, and Italian seasoning.

  • Season the chicken with salt and pepper; dredge in the parmesan mixture; shake off excess and set aside.

  • In a large skillet melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat.

  • Cook chicken until golden on each side and cooked through – about 3-4 minutes for each side, depending on the thickness of your chicken.

  • Transfer to a plate.

The Cauliflower Rice:



  • In the same pan, melt 2 Tbsp of butter.

  • Fry the garlic and onion for 1 minute until fragrant — be careful not to burn.

  • Add the riced cauliflower to the skillet and stir to mix everything together well and coat in melted butter.

  • Cook, stirring regularly for 1 minute.

  • Stir in the 2 tablespoons vegetable stock, about half the parsley, and lemon zest.

  • Cook for one minute to reduce juices then add the lemon juice and a few sprinkles of leftover parmesan cheese, if you like.

  • Adjust seasoning as needed. Stir in the remaining parsley.

  • Return chicken over cauliflower rice and reheat quickly.

  • Serve with fresh cracked black pepper, red chili pepper flakes, and more parmesan.
