Description

A simple Caribbean-inspired sheet pan dinner. 


Scale

Ingredients

For the Rice

  • 20oz frozen cauliflower rice
  • 1/2 red onion, minced
  • 1/4 cup minced parsley or cilantro
  • 1 cup small dice broccoli florets 
  • 1 teaspoon fine salt
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil 

For the Chicken

  • 3 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons Adobo
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Toppings

  • 1 lime
  • 1 avocado 

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400F.
  2. Toss the cauliflower rice with minced veggies, seasonings, and olive oil and spread it out on a sheet pan. Make a hole in the center for the chicken. 
  3. Rub chicken with salt, adobo, and olive oil, and place on the sheet pan. 
  4. Roast with cauli rice for 25-30 minutes. 
  5. Serve 3 bowls of cauli rice, slice the chicken and serve atop the rice. Garnish with avocado and lime. 

Recipe Notes:

  • Can I use chicken thighs instead of chicken breasts? Yes, use boneless, skinless chicken whichever you use.
  • How can I make this AIP compliant? The only thing you need to replace is the Adobo- make your own mix with salt, garlic powder, and turmeric, equal parts of each. You will need 1 1/2 teaspoons for the recipe.
  • Any ideas for making this higher in carbs? Yup! Make 2 cups of cooked white rice and once you finished this recipe, mix the cooked white rice into the cooked cauliflower rice before serving!
