This is a yummy chicken dish with cheesy cauliflower rice. It's like a warm hug on a plate. You cook chicken and veggies, add cheese, and bake it. It's easy and so good!

Ingredients

1 kg boneless skinless chicken breasts
2 (340 g) bags frozen riced cauliflower
2 red bell peppers
1 bunch green onions (scallions)
3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup barbecue sauce
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon salt

Method

1
Preheat oven to 220°C (425°F).
2
Cut the chicken breasts in half horizontally to make thin fillets. Place them in a baking dish, drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil, and season with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
3
Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 12 minutes or until almost cooked through.
4
While the chicken is baking, wash, dry, and dice the red bell peppers. Wash, dry, and slice the green onions, reserving a few for garnish.
5
Heat a large skillet over medium heat with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add the diced bell peppers, most of the green onions, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper, and a pinch of salt. Cook for about 3 minutes until softened.
6
Stir in the frozen riced cauliflower and cook for another 7-8 minutes until the cauliflower is tender and the liquid has evaporated.
7
Remove the chicken from the oven. Spread 1/2 cup barbecue sauce over the chicken fillets, then sprinkle with 3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese.
8
Return the dish to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the chicken is fully cooked.
9
Serve the BBQ chicken on top of the cheesy cauliflower rice. Garnish with the reserved green onions.
