Oh one skillet meals, how I love you so. I’m nearing the end of my pregnancy and let me tell you the last thing I want to do is make recipes that require 10 different pots , pans and tools. Mama just wants the simple, easy recipes that are healthy and tasty. So that’s exactly what I’m going to focus on here on out.
One skillet/one casserole/one pot recipes are going to be my new mantra this year, and I’m sure all of you are happy to jump on board this easier recipe band wagon.
So say hello to my first one skillet recipe, an exceptionally flavorful sriracha Parmesan cauliflower rice skillet with garlicky chicken.
NOW for those of you who are plant based eaters, you can simply replace the chicken with tempeh, tofu, or beans. For pescetarians the flavors/marinades work just as well with shrimp – I want to make sure these one skillet / one pot recipes can be super versatile and adapt to any type of dietary guideline.
Here is what I did to make this recipe easier and healthier to whip up.
— I shopped for frozen RICED cauliflower. Pretty much all major grocery stores have opened their doors to frozen riced cauliflower since it’s just such a trend now. PLEASE stock up on frozen riced cauliflower, you will save yourself so much time making rice dishes. No one wants to cook an entire head of cauliflower and then pulse it in a food processor when you can just completely skip this process and throw in already riced cauliflower in your skillet.
— Everything is created in ONE skillet which means you only need to clean ONE pot – a baby Jesus miracle. Let’s get to the recipe already shall we?
Save RecipeIngredients
- 4 boneless chicken breasts or filets
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp Italian spice blend of your choice
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 1 package of 16oz frozen or prepared cauliflower rice
- 2 tbsp Brummel & Brown Spread
- 1 tbsp sriracha sauce or hot sauce
- 1/2 white onion, diced
- 2 garlic cloves, diced
- 1 tbsp dried parsley
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan
- 1/4 cup low sodium vegetable or chicken broth
- Juice from 1 lemon
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, add the garlic powder, paprika, Italian seasoning, olive oil and vinegar and mix well. Arrange the chicken breasts in the bowl and with your hands or with tongs make sure all the marinade covers the chicken. Leave in the fridge to marinade for about 15 minutes. If desired you can marinade the chicken for up to 3 hours in the fridge before you decide to make this recipe.
- In a skillet on low-medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of the Brummel & Brown spread. Place the chicken breasts in the skillet and cook for about 5 minutes on each side or until the inside of the breasts are no longer pink. I like to cut the chicken into smaller strips or peaces to ensure that they are fully cooked. Once the chicken is fully cooked, remove the breasts from the skillet and set aside on a serving plate. Do not drain the pan of any leftover marinade or juices.
- In the same skillet, add the diced onion and garlic and cook on medium heat until they are translucent. Add the hot sauce and another tbsp of Brummel & Brown if you desire, as well as juice from half of the lemon and mix well.
- Add the frozen cauliflower and chicken/vegetable stock and stir. Let it all cook for about three minutes and then add the remaining juice from the other half of the lemon, parmesan cheese, and parsley.
- Return the chicken breasts to the skillet to reheat. Serve with extra parmesan or black peppercorns and enjoy!
