Ingredients

• 4 pieces Chicken thighs
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 head Cauliflower
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 0.5 cup Chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix together garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels and rub them with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Season them generously with the spice mixture.

Step 4

Place the chicken thighs in a roasting pan and roast in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the skin is crispy.

Step 5

While the chicken is roasting, prepare the cauliflower rice. Cut the cauliflower into florets and pulse in a food processor until it resembles rice.

Step 6

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the butter in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 7

Add the cauliflower rice to the skillet and sauté for about 5 minutes, until tender.

Step 8

Stir in the chicken broth and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes or until the liquid is absorbed and the cauliflower rice is fully cooked.

Step 9

Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the fresh parsley.

Step 10

To serve, place a portion of cauliflower rice on a plate and top with one roasted chicken thigh.

Step 11

Garnish with additional fresh parsley if desired and serve hot.
