- Prepare the Marinade: In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, parsley, cumin, paprika, black pepper, coriander, and salt. This adds bold Mediterranean flavor to the chicken.
- Marinate the Chicken: Add the boneless chicken breasts (or thighs) to the marinade, tossing to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 10 minutes (or overnight for deeper flavor).
- Cook the Mediterranean Rice: While the chicken marinates, prepare the Keto Cauliflower & Broccoli Mediterranean Rice (this takes about 20 minutes).
- Prefer something quicker? Use plain sautéed cauliflower rice as an easy alternative.
- Cook the Chicken: Heat a cast iron skillet or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook for 5-7 minutes per side until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165F (use a meat thermometer).
- Assemble and Serve: Divide the Mediterranean Rice (or cauliflower rice) between two plates. Place the cooked chicken on top. Garnish with Parmesan cheese, fresh parsley, or basil for extra flavor.
- Optional: Add your favorite side dishes to complete the meal.
Notes
Keto Mediterranean Rice recipe here. Store chicken in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Rice can also be stored separately for up to 3 days or frozen for 1 month. Reheat both in a skillet over medium heat for the best texture. Rice Alternative: Don’t have time to make the Mediterranean rice? Use plain sautéed cauliflower rice for a quicker side dish. Flavor Boost: For extra flavor, top the dish with Parmesan cheese, fresh parsley, or a squeeze of lemon juice.
