Low Carb Dinner option

One of the most common requests we get asked each week is for options for low carb meals.

Part of our answer is that the only meal which is important to be 'strictly' low carb is evening meals and snacks... If you haven't got dinner organised for tonight yet, here's a fantastic chicken option. Enjoy!

Mediterranean chicken with cauliflower rice
​Ingredients

• 1kg chicken thighs (pat dry and season with salt and pepper)
• 500g rice cauliflower (if you don’t buy the pre-made stuff, just core a cauliflower and pulse in the food processor)
• 1/2 cup feta cheese
• 1 small can diced tomatoes
• 1/3 cup kalamata olives
• 50g chopped marinated artichoke hearts
• 1/4 cup chicken broth
• Small handful of fresh basil
• 1/2 teaspoon oregano
• 1 lemon (juice half and reserve; slice the other half and reserve)
• Salt and pepper

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 375, and preheat a large cast iron skillet to medium high heat. Add a little olive oil, and brown the chicken for 4-5 minutes per side, until almost cooked through. Set the chicken aside.
2. In the same pan, add a bit of olive oil and the cauliflower rice. Cook until softened, 5-6 minutes and season with salt and pepper.
3. Add in the broth or red wine, and scrape the bottom of the pan. Stir in the diced tomatoes, artichokes, oregano, lemon juice, basil, olives, and feta.
4. Top with the chicken thighs, and place lemon slices on top.
5. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear.
6. Serve immediately with extra basil on top if you’d like!
