Paleo Chicken Scampi with Garlic Parmesan Rice

A Paleo twist on the classic chicken scampi dish, served with flavorful garlic parmesan cauliflower rice instead of traditional pasta. This dish is gluten-free, dairy-free, and packed with protein and nutrients.

Ingredients:

• 1 lb chicken breast, thinly sliced
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/4 cup chicken broth
• 1/4 cup coconut cream
• 2 tbsp lemon juice
• 2 tbsp chopped parsley
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 2 cups cauliflower rice
• 1/4 cup nutritional yeast
• 2 tbsp ghee
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil

Instructions:

Heat the olive oil in a big skillet over medium-high heat

Add the minced garlic and cook for one minute, or until fragrant

Season the chicken slices with salt and pepper after adding them to the skillet

Simmer for 5 to 6 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and browned

Add the coconut cream, lemon juice, and chicken broth

Simmer for two to three minutes, stirring to combine, to slightly thicken the sauce

On top of the chicken and sauce mixture, scatter chopped parsley

Take off the heat and place aside

Heat the ghee in a different skillet over medium heat

Cook the cauliflower rice in the skillet for 45 minutes, or until it is soft

Add nutritional yeast and taste-test to adjust for salt and pepper

Before serving, garnish with finely chopped fresh basil
