Ingredients:
- 500g boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into cubes
- 2 tablespoons peri-peri sauce
- 1 tablespoon Tony Ferguson Lemon Juice
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 large cauliflower, grated or processed into “rice”
- Fresh parsley or cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions:
- In a bowl, combine the peri-peri sauce, lemon juice, olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well to create a marinade.
- Add the chicken cubes to the marinade and toss until each piece is coated. Cover the bowl and let the chicken marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, allowing the flavours to meld together.
- While the chicken is marinating, prepare the cauliflower rice. Grate the cauliflower using a box grater or process it in a food processor until it resembles rice grains.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for about 30 minutes to prevent burning.
- Thread the marinated chicken onto the skewers, evenly distributing the cubes.
- Grill the chicken kebabs for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and slightly charred.
- Meanwhile, heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and add the cauliflower rice. Sauté for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cauliflower is tender but still retains some texture.
- Season the cauliflower rice with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve the grilled peri-peri chicken skewers on a bed of cauliflower rice. Garnish with fresh parsley or cilantro for an extra burst of flavour and colour.
- Enjoy this as a delicious and low-calorie option that will satisfy your taste buds while keeping you on track with your wellness goals.
