DIRECTIONS
The Chicken

1. To make this parmesan chicken recipe: In

a shallow plate, combine parmesan cheese,
grated garlic, paprika, and Italian seasoning.
Season the chicken breasts with salt and
pepper; dredge in the parmesan mixture;
shake off excess and set aside.

2. In a large non-stick skillet melt 2

tablespoons of butter over medium-high
heat. Cook chicken cutlets until golden on
each side and cooked through – about 3-4
minutes for each side, depending on the
thickness of your chicken cutlets. Transfer to
a plate.

The cauliflower rice

1. In the same pan, melt 2 tablespoons of

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

2. 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.

3. Stir in the 2 tablespoons vegetable stock,

about half the parsley, and lemon zest (if
using). Cook the cauliflower rice for one
minute to reduce juices then add the lemon
juice and a few sprinkles of leftover
parmesan cheese, if you like.

4. Adjust seasoning as needed. Stir in the

remaining parsley. Return chicken breasts
over cauliflower rice and reheat quickly.
Serve your parmesan chicken with fresh
cracked black pepper, red chili pepper
flakes, and more parmesan. Enjoy!

Note: Make sure to use a non-stick pan

otherwise the parmesan might stick.

TIPS FOR THE GARLIC BUTTER CHICKEN WITH

PARMESAN CAULIFLOWER RICE RECIPE
This one-pan garlic butter parmesan
chicken and cauliflower recipe is full of
rich, buttery herb flavors with both chicken
and cauliflower rice all cooked in one pan for
quick, easy prep and final cleanup. This
healthy chicken recipe for dinner is low in
carbs, gluten-free, and Keto diet-friendly.
Here are a few tips so you can make the
most of this delicious chicken and
cauliflower dinner recipe:

Make sure to use a good quality non-stick

pan. Otherwise, the parmesan might end
up sticking to the pan and not on the
chicken. If this occurs, deglaze the pan
with a little chicken broth before adding
the cauliflower rice.
Cooking time will depend on the
thickness of your chicken cutlets. If using
whole chicken breasts, the chicken and
cauliflower rice recipe will take about 10
to 15 minutes more.
Don’t skimp on spices and lemon, they
really help to cut through the bland flavor
of cauliflower and bring life to the whole
dish.
You can enrich the sauce by adding some
white wine when you deglaze the pan.

CAN WE USE OTHER VEGGIES THAN

CAULIFLOWER FOR THIS CHICKEN RECIPE?
If you’re not a fan of cauliflower, replace it
with green beans, broccoli, zucchini
noodles, or even asparagus!
