1 head cauliflower, riced
1/2 c. fresh Parmesan, finely grated
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
2 large cloves garlic, grated
1 tsp paprika
2 large cloves garlic, minced

HOW TO MAKE 15-MINUTE GARLIC BUTTER CHICKEN WITH PARMESAN CAULIFLOWER RICE
Step 1: Place the Parmesan cheese, grated garlic, paprika, and Italian seasoning on a shallow plate. Mix well.
Step 2: Sprinkle the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then dredge in the Parmesan mixture, shaking the excess off. Set aside.
Step 3: Melt 2 tbsp butter in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once the butter has melted, add the chicken cutlets to the skillet and cook for about 3 to 4 minutes or until both sides are golden and the chicken is cooked. To a plate, transfer the chicken cutlets when done.
Cauliflower rice:
Step 4: Melt 2 tbsp butter in the same pan. Add the garlic and onion and fry for about a minute until aromatic.
Step 5: To the skillet, add the riced cauliflower. Stir until coated in the melted butter. Cook for another minute, stirring often.
Step 6: Then, add 2 tbsp vegetable stock along with half of the parsley, and lemon zest. Stir and continue to cook for a minute more until the juices have reduced. Now, add the lemon juice and a couple of sprinkles of the rest of the Parmesan cheese.
Step 7: As needed, adjust the seasoning. Add the rest of the parsley and stir.
Step 8: Nestle the chicken breasts over the cauliflower rice and quickly reheat.
Step 9: When done, remove from the heat and serve immediately garnished with fresh cracked black pepper, red chilli pepper flakes, and extra Parmesan. Enjoy!
