Directions

The Chicken

1. To make this parmesan chicken recipe: In a shallow plate, combine parmesan cheese, grated garlic, paprika, and Italian seasoning. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper; dredge in the parmesan mixture; shake off excess and set aside.

2. In a large non-stick skillet melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat. Cook chicken cutlets until golden on each side and cooked through – about 3-4 minutes for each side, depending on the thickness of your chicken cutlets. Transfer to a plate.

The cauliflower rice

1. In the same pan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Fry the garlic and onion for 1 minute until fragrant — be careful not to burn.

2. Add the riced cauliflower to the skillet and stir to mix everything together well and coat in melted butter. Cook, stirring regularly for 1 minute.

3. Stir in the 2 tablespoons vegetable stock, about half the parsley, and lemon zest (if using). Cook the cauliflower rice for one minute to reduce juices then add the lemon juice and a few sprinkles of leftover parmesan cheese, if you like.

4. Adjust seasoning as needed. Stir in the remaining parsley. Return chicken breasts over cauliflower rice and reheat quickly. Serve your parmesan chicken with fresh cracked black pepper, red chili pepper flakes, and more parmesan. Enjoy!

Note: Make sure to use a non-stick pan otherwise the parmesan might stick.

Tips for the Garlic Butter Chicken with Parmesan Cauliflower Rice Recipe

This one-pan garlic butter parmesan chicken and cauliflower recipe is full of rich, buttery herb flavors with both chicken and cauliflower rice all cooked in one pan for quick, easy prep and final cleanup. This healthy chicken recipe for dinner is low in carbs, gluten-free, and Keto diet-friendly. Here are a few tips so you can make the most of this delicious chicken and cauliflower dinner recipe:

  • Make sure to use a good quality non-stick pan. Otherwise, the parmesan might end up sticking to the pan and not on the chicken. If this occurs, deglaze the pan with a little chicken broth before adding the cauliflower rice.
  • Cooking time will depend on the thickness of your chicken cutlets. If using whole chicken breasts, the chicken and cauliflower rice recipe will take about 10 to 15 minutes more.
  • Don’t skimp on spices and lemon, they really help to cut through the bland flavor of cauliflower and bring life to the whole dish.
  • You can enrich the sauce by adding some white wine when you deglaze the pan.

Can we use other veggies than cauliflower for this chicken recipe?

If you’re not a fan of cauliflower, replace it with green beans, broccoli, zucchini noodles, or even asparagus!

    This was way better than we expected ! We only made it because we had all the ingredients on hand and now we’re saving this one to make in the future because it was genuinely good

  • Lori S

    Added some spinach and mushrooms in with the onions and garlic. Very tasty. Used frozen riced cauliflower to save time. My husband really liked it. Will definitely make again.

  • Anita Coleman

    The hardest part was grating the parm. It was very good and KETO friendly. My husband gave it two thumbs up. Thanks for the tasty recipe.

  • Terina

    2023-04-10 18:25:49

    Very easy and very good. I left out the lemon and added mushrooms and sun dried tomatoes.

  • Charlotte Moore

    This recipe was very tasty. My 89 year old mother, who doesn’t eat much of anything, had an entire chicken breast and all of her cauliflower rice. I’m now a devotee of cauliflower rice. Very savory and the left-overs were just as good.

    The chicken in this recipe is fantastic! I've made it twice now. Really good for lunch leftovers. The second time I made it I used spaghetti squash instead of cauliflower rice. I highly recommend the spaghetti squash. Super good!

  • Stacey

    Made this tonight. Added cheese and spinach to the rice. Delicious!

    I enjoyed the meal. I used more butter and I did not use lemon. But it was amazing, I enjoyed it. I will add some chilli next time.

  • Cassie

    2022-08-03 22:30:40

    I made this almost exactly as written, and my husband and son (who don't even LIKE cauliflower) both LOVED it! Thank you for a great low carb recipe that my whole family can enjoy together!

  • Jess

    2022-07-27 18:21:58

    Yum! My husband doesn’t like cauliflower rice so I made it with white rice and it was delish!!

  • Heidi

    2022-07-07 16:38:47

    This was a quick meal and great taste. Cooking the cauliflower with onions/garlic and all the flavors made the cauliflower rice a tasteful surprise. The chicken had a mouthwatering and flavorful coating. This will be a dinner dish I will be cooking again!

  • Katie

    2022-01-02 18:32:12

    Definitely use a nonstick pan, my only regret, otherwise it was a delicious and healthy meal

  • Rita

    2021-12-13 22:15:25

    This dish is delicious! Just made it tonight for the first time, followed it exactly and it was a perfect dinner on a busy work day! Will be making it again for sure. Small note - used minimal salt and pepper (just a small dusting) on the chicken before cooking and it was perfect.

  • Maya

    2021-10-27 18:54:18

    Great flavor so good

  • Myra

    2021-09-21 13:16:51

    I made this dish. It has an excellent flavor! I have reviewed the ingredient list and can't understand how a serving can have 13 carbs. What am I overlooking? TIA

  • Karen W

    2021-09-09 19:27:19

    Delicious. I used a cauliflower rice with mushrooms medley. Love the flavor of the garlic and onions in the cauliflower rice and the chicken was moist and buttery.

  • Maddie

    2021-07-19 17:27:44

    Wow! This is awesome!! Spiced up the cauliflower with salt, pepper, onion pwd, and garlic pwd but that was literally the only thing I added. Definitely going in the rotation! Yum!!

  • Kara

    2021-06-28 17:35:20

    Our family was not a fan. We found it to be somewhat bland.

  • Jenna

    2021-05-18 05:51:10

    First time I've made cauliflower rice and it's pretty darn good! And the chicken has a lovely flavour and crust. Next time I'd probably add more herbs or use fresh but that would only enhance an already very nice dish

  • Lesley

    2021-03-19 19:46:17

    Delicious! I'll make it again, for sure. Thanks.

  • Shannon

    2021-03-15 20:14:56

    Delicious! Will definitely make again!! Easy peasy! I didn't use the lemon and it was still amazing! Two thumbs up!

  • Shannen

    2021-03-01 20:47:50

    This was delish! I would def recommend either using chicken cutlets or pounding out your chicken. I added all my left over parm ( it Had touched raw chicken, so..) to the cauliflower along with a bit of cream cheese I had in the fridge. It was creamy and delicious!

  • Iwona

    2021-02-17 13:41:14

    One word can describe: DELICIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Tammy

    2021-02-15 18:16:23

    It was delicious I will make it again and pass the recipe along. I made rice instead of cauliflower rice added more lemon to the rice and some to the chicken as well.

  • Morgan

    2021-02-13 09:48:31

    This was my first time cooking and trying cauliflower rice and it was so yummy! I did use frozen riced cauliflower, sauté from frozen, to save some time and it doesn't go bad as fast as fresh, but I will be using this recipe from now on!

  • Michelle

    2021-02-06 20:52:22

    Absolutely delicious!! I made it for the 1st time tonight. Excellent flavor and very filling!!

  • Laurie

    2021-01-16 22:15:06

    Made this recipe tonight. Definitely a must try. Phenomenal! Followed recipe, except used frozen riced cauliflower...huge timesaver. Next time, I may add grilled asparagus.

  • Maria

    2020-12-15 19:53:03

    My family enjoyed this way more than I even expected. I saved time by purchasing breaded chicken cutlets from my butcher and frozen cauliflower rice. Will definitely make again!

  • Gina

    2020-12-03 10:16:03

    This test was amazing! It did take a while to prepare, mostly because I was using 6 pounds of boneless skinless chicken to feed my family for a few days. It was really delicious, and once everything is prepped, cooking it didn’t take very long at all. I will absolutely make us again!
