## Ingredients - 2 count Boneless and skinless chicken breasts — large, halved horizontally to make 4 - ½ cup Fresh Parmesan — finely grated - Not specified Salt and fresh cracked black pepper. Source gives no numeric quantity; use to taste/as garnish as written. - 2 clove Garlic — grated. large cloves - 1 tsp Paprika - 1 tsp Italian seasoning - 4 tbsp Unsalted butter — divided - 1 head Cauliflower — riced - ½ cup White onion — chopped - 2 clove Garlic — minced. large cloves - 2 tbsp Vegetable stock - 1 count Lemon — juice. + zest, if you like - Not specified Red chili pepper flakes — optional. Source gives no numeric quantity; use to taste/as garnish as written. - ¼ cup Fresh parsley — chopped ## Equipment - Stovetop - Pans ## Cook Prepare cold sides first. Keep raw-poultry tools separate; use clean serving utensils. Probe more than one thick piece. A timer is not a doneness test. 1. **Step 1.** Halve each chicken breast horizontally to make thinner cutlets. Mix Parmesan, grated garlic, paprika and Italian herbs. Season chicken with salt and pepper, coat with the Parmesan mixture and shake off loose excess. 2. **Step 2.** Melt half the butter in a nonstick skillet over medium-high. Cook cutlets 3–4 minutes per side, depending on thickness, until cooked through; set aside. 3. **Step 3.** Melt remaining butter; cook onion and minced garlic 1 minute. Add cauliflower rice and stir 1 minute to coat. 4. **Step 4.** Add stock, half the parsley and optional lemon zest; cook 1 minute, then add lemon juice. Stir in remaining parsley and optional chili flakes. Return chicken and warm through. ## Attention timeline Stages can overlap; endpoints and appliance behavior override the estimate. ## Flavor and capacity - Use a nonstick pan to keep the Parmesan coating from sticking. ## Nutrition per serving Calories: Not provided; protein: Not provided; total carbs: Not provided; fiber: Not provided; net carbs: Not provided Source nutrition is reported only where its per-portion basis is supported. Unavailable totals are not estimated. Known allergens for these plates: milk. Check product labels and cross-contact. ## First-cook checks and limits - Source mentions leftover coating Parmesan added to cauliflower. This adaptation allocates listed Parmesan fully to coating and omits this optional unquantified addition; loose coating has contacted raw chicken and should not be used as a finishing garnish. - The publisher does not give a numerical chicken doneness temperature. - The publisher gives no measured amount for: Salt and fresh cracked black pepper. - The publisher gives no measured amount for: Red chili pepper flakes, optional. - Ingredient quantities are scaled from 4 original portions to four portions. Fractions of whole items may need weighing or dividing after preparation. Larger batches need extra cooking space or batches; keep thickness and endpoint checks. - Adapted from Christina Cherrier. This adaptation has not been kitchen-tested. - The source does not provide verified values for every per-portion macronutrient. Missing values stay unreported; a keto label from the publisher is not a verified net-carb total. - Safe doneness checks are added to the publisher method; timers alone do not establish doneness. ## Leftovers Refrigerate in shallow containers within two hours, or one hour above 90°F. Use within 3–4 days or freeze; reheat to 165°F. Keep cold greens and yogurt separate. ## Sources - [Christina Cherrier: Garlic Butter Chicken with Cauliflower Rice](https://www.eatwell101.com/garlic-butter-chicken-with-parmesan-cauliflower-rice) - [FoodSafety.gov: safe minimum internal temperatures](https://www.foodsafety.gov/food-safety-charts/safe-minimum-internal-temperatures) These recipes include household adaptations and recipes adapted from the linked publishers.
