One Pot Chicken Rice Dinner
Chicken , veggies and cauliflower rice all in one skillet
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp butter
- 2 chicken filets or large tenders
- 2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 8 small asparagus spears or 4 large
- 2 tbsp chopped onion
- 1 roma tomato seeded and cut into strips
- 1 1/2 cups cauliflower rice or minute rice
- 1 lemon wedge
Instructions
- If you have to thaw out the chicken just do it in the microwave while you get the skillet ready. Put a skillet on at medium high and add about two tablespoons of olive oil and a tablespoon of butter. Salt, pepper and garlic powder the chicken. When the butter has stopped bubbling lay the chicken in the skillet.
- While the chicken is cooking cut up the veggies and have the rice available.Just about any fast cooking veggie will work. We went with asparagus, tomato and onion tonight.
- When you turn over the chicken lay out the asparagus and the onion in the skillet. As the onion starts to get translucent and the asparagus is starting to get soft add the tomato slices and the cauliflower rice. Squeeze the juice from a lemon wedge on everything.
- Stir the veggies up. The cauliflower rice is going to cook and get soft VERY quickly so as soon as it is soft serve it up! I garnished with a little fresh basil and some grated parmesan. We were really pleased with how tasty this turned out. Give it a try. I'll bet that you will like it too.
