  • 0.5 cup low-sodium chicken broth to add moisture and flavor

Equipment

  • Spatula or Wooden Spoon

Method
 

Cooking Steps:
  1. Start by melting 4 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Once melted, add in the diced yellow onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until it becomes translucent.
  2. Next, add the 1 1/2 pounds of boneless, skinless chicken breast pieces to the skillet. Sprinkle with 2 teaspoons of Italian seasoning, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook the chicken for approximately 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it's browned and cooked through.
  3. Once the chicken is cooked, add the 3 cloves of minced garlic to the skillet. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  4. Stir in the 16 ounces of cauliflower rice, mixing well to combine. If using frozen cauliflower rice, allow it to thaw and heat through.
  5. Pour in the 1/2 cup of low-sodium chicken broth and 1/2 cup of heavy cream. Stir everything together and bring the mixture to a simmer. Let it cook for about 5 minutes.
  6. Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese until melted and creamy. Adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if necessary.
  7. Spoon the Chicken with Parmesan Cauliflower Rice into bowls and enjoy your delicious, comforting meal!
