Ingredients

• 2 medium (about 1 pound) chicken breast
• 0.25 cup lemon juice
• 0.25 cup olive oil
• 3 cloves, minced garlic
• 0.25 cup, chopped fresh parsley
• 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh thyme
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 4 cups cauliflower rice
• 1 large, diced red bell pepper
• 0.5 cup, sliced green onion
• 1 large, sliced avocado
• 0.25 cup, chopped fresh cilantro
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest

Directions

Step 1

In a bowl, mix the lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, chopped parsley, chopped thyme, salt, and black pepper.

Step 2

Place the chicken breasts in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, seal the bag or cover the dish, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, up to 4 hours for more flavor.

Step 3

Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and grill or sear each side for about 5-7 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing it into strips.

Step 4

While the chicken is cooking, heat a separate large skillet over medium heat. Add the cauliflower rice and diced red bell pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5-7 minutes until the cauliflower rice is tender.

Step 5

Season the cauliflower rice with a pinch of salt and pepper, if desired.

Step 6

To assemble the bowls, divide the cauliflower rice evenly among four serving bowls. Top each with sliced grilled chicken, a few slices of avocado, a sprinkle of green onions and chopped cilantro, and a pinch of lemon zest.

Step 7

Serve the bowls immediately, enjoying the fresh flavors of the lemon herb chicken over cauliflower rice.
