Method
Chicken:
-
With a meat mallet, flatten the thick part of the breast, (this will also tenderize the chicken).
-
In a shallow plate or container, combine parmesan cheese, minced garlic, paprika and Italian seasoning.
-
Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then dredge in the parmesan mixture, shake of excess and set aside.
-
In a skillet melt 2 tablespoons butter over medium heat. Sear the chicken from both sides and transfer to a small shallow baking dish.
-
Add a little water to the dish and bake in oven 200C/400F for 15 minutes or until chicken is cooked through.
-
Whilst the chicken is cooking prepare the cauliflower rice.
Cauliflower Rice:
-
Cut the cauliflower into chunks, including the cores. Place in food processor and pulse until the cauliflower resembles the texture of rice.
-
In the same pan you seared the chicken, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Fry the garlic and onion for 1 minute just until fragrant.
-
Add the riced cauliflower, stir until well coated and cook for 1 minute.
-
Stir in the vegetable stock pot or vegetable stock, piri seasoning and half of the parsley. Cook for 1 minute then add the lemon juice and a few sprinkles of leftover parmesan cheese.
-
Stir in remaining parsley and serve with ready baked chicken.

Enjoy!
