Keto Chicken Piccata with Cauliflower Rice
A tangy and savory dish featuring pan-seared chicken in a lemon-caper sauce, served over flavorful cauliflower rice, perfect for a low-carb lunch.
Season 200 grams of chicken breast with salt and pepper. In a pan, heat 1 tbsp olive oil and sear the chicken until golden and cooked through; remove and set aside. In the same pan, melt 1 tbsp butter and add 1 minced garlic clove. Stir in the juice of 1 lemon and 1 tbsp capers, simmer for 2 minutes. Meanwhile, pulse cauliflower florets in a processor until they resemble rice, then sauté in a little olive oil until tender. Return the chicken to the pan, spoon the lemon-caper sauce over it, and serve over the cauliflower rice, garnished with 10 grams of chopped parsley.
