My mom first introduced me to cauliflower rice in high school, and though I was a bit skeptical, once I realized that it takes on flavors well, I grew to really enjoy it. And the best part is, it’s rich in fiber and antioxidants, making any dish more filling.
This one-pan chicken & riced cauliflower shawarma skillet combines all the delicious sweet and savory flavors from your favorite Mediterranean restaurant, right at home.
By pan-searing the aromatics and chicken first, the flavor of this dish is built in layers. This is exactly why we cook the cauliflower rice right into the pan, so it can take on the delicious flavors made by all the other ingredients.
For toppings, you don’t want to skimp out here. Top with cilantro, chopped cashews, lemon juice, and pomegranates if you’re feeling fancy.
Though this meal takes a bit longer because of the marinating step, it’s totally worth it!
