Happy Tuesday. This Lemon Parmesan Skillet Chicken & Cauliflower rice is the perfect quick fix dinner for the busiest of weeks. I don’t know about your week but it has already been a crazy, crazy week in my world and this one pan dinner is definitely on my menu this week.

PS… It is also very KETO friendly with only 5 net Carbs per serving.

It’s all about the coating!

This dish all starts with this amazing coating you press the chicken into. It is super simple, just parmesan cheese, seasoning and garlic. Yep… it really is that simple. The parmesan cheese and garlic gives the chicken so much flavor without all the carbs of a more tradition bread crumb coating.

Don’t worry though you will not miss the carbs AT ALL.. I promise!

OH THE RICE

This cauliflower rice is loaded with tons of flavor. It picks up flavor from the chicken but then you add in the lemon juice and some extra parmesan cheese to really make this rice AMAZING! My mom said the rice was actually her favorite part.

FYI…I like my rice to still a bit of a bite to it, but if you like it softer than cook it a few more minutes. Just make sure to add the lemon juice towards the end.

One pan and done

In less than 30 minutes and with only one pan you can have a delicious and pretty dinner on the table. Does it get any better? I love when a dish comes together super quick but it looks like it took hours and this dish is all that and even more. The flavors really do make this dish something to remember.

Dinner is Done!
