Lemon Garlic Chicken with Mushroom & Spinach Cauli Rice

×

2 Serves.

We love veggie overload & we always add lots of flavour to make your dish delish. This one is 2 serves & the flavours will continue to infuse for another meal the following day.

We’ve used Thyme as the herb to flavour the entire dish. It’s quite a strong herb so you’ll only need a small amount, and if you prefer you can swap it for another favourite herb.

TIP: If you are looking for a carb boost add a small portion of brown rice or quinoa and mix it through the cauli rice – so yummy.

Cook time: 30 mins

Method

1. Cut the chicken into cutlets by cutting horizontally across the chicken and making them approx. 1.5cm thick.  Cutting the chicken this way makes them easier to absorb the marinade & also cook quickly in a pan.
2. Mix the oil, zest, juice, garlic & thyme in a bowl.  Add the chicken and make sure it’s covered well in the marinade.  Leave for 20-30mins while you prepare the caul rice.  Note: you can leave this marinate for up to 4 hours if you prefer.
3. Make the cauliflower rice by pulsing the cauli in a blender until it resembles rice.
4. Prepare all the other ingredients ready for a quick cook.
5. Add the oil to a pan & heat to a med / low heat.  Add the onion and cook gently for a few minutes until soft.
6. Add the garlic and cauliflower rice and cook for another 2 minutes.
7. Add the mushrooms & stock and cook until the cauliflower & mushrooms are cooked & the stock is absorbed.
8. Add the spinach, tamari & thyme and cook until the spinach is just wilted.
9. Turn off the heat and finish with the lemon juice & salt (only if needed).
10. Cook the chicken in a separate pan at the same time as the cauli rice, or set the rice aside to keep warm & clean out the pan for chicken.
11.  For the chicken, heat the pan to a medium heat & add the marinated chicken.  Cook for a few minutes & turn to finish cooking.  Cooking time will depend on how thick the chicken slices are.
12. Rest the chicken for a minute or 2 & serve with the mushroom & spinach cauli rice. Delicious!!
