Blackened Chicken with Cheesy Cauliflower Rice

Step 1

In a small bowl, combine the smoked paprika, brown sugar, chili powder, salt & pepper. Add the spice mixture to both sides of the chicken breast. Heat a drizzle of oil in a pan on medium heat. Add the seasoned chicken & sear undisturbed for 5-6 min.

Step 2

Meanwhile, cut the broccoli into bite-sized florets. In a pot of salted, boiling water, add the broccoli & cook for 5 min.

Step 3

Flip the chicken & sear for another 5-6 min on the second side. Drain the broccoli & set aside.

Step 4

In the same pot the broccoli was cooked in, add a drizzle of olive oil & the cauliflower rice over medium heat. Season the cauliflower with salt, pepper & any other spices you have (we love garlic powder here!) Stir & cook the cauliflower rice for 2-3 min until hot.

Step 5

Stir in the heavy cream & cook for 1 min until the mixture has thickened slightly. Stir in the cheese until well combined then remove the cauliflower rice from the heat.

Step 6

Serve the chicken with the cheesy cauliflower rice & broccoli. Enjoy!
