Delectable Hungarian Keto Chicken Paprikás with Cauliflower Rice and Garlic-Infused Spinach

Allergens

Dairy, Egg (in butter)

Ingredients

• 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 12 ounces each) 4 tablespoons butter or ghee 1 medium onion, finely chopped 3 cloves garlic, minced 1/2 cup tomato paste 1/3 cup paprika powder 1 cup heavy cream Salt and black pepper, to taste 1 large cauliflower head, grated or riced 4 cups fresh spinach 2 cloves garlic, minced Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

1. Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides. In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter or ghee over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook until browned on both sides, about 4 5 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
2. In the same skillet, add another 2 tablespoons of butter or ghee. Sauté the chopped onion until translucent, about 3 4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
3. Stir in the tomato paste and paprika powder, cooking for 2 3 minutes to release the aroma. Gradually add the heavy cream while continuously stirring to combine. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
4. Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, reduce heat to low, and cover. Simmer for 15 20 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and tender. Remove from heat and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
5. In a separate pan, sauté the grated cauliflower with a pinch of salt over medium heat until softened and slightly browned, about 5 7 minutes. Set aside.
6. In another pan, quickly sauté the spinach with garlic and a touch of salt until wilted. Drain any excess liquid.
7. To plate, place a bed of cauliflower rice on each dish, followed by sliced chicken breasts, then spoon the creamy paprika sauce over the top. Finish with a generous serving of garlicky spinach and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve immediately.

Chef’s Insight

To enhance the aroma, use smoked paprika instead of regular paprika powder.
