Creamy, delicious, low-carb, and gluten-free? While it might sound too good to be true, this creamy lemon chicken dish is the real deal. 

This dish is light, fragrant, and can be served in one pan. Tender chicken breasts lie atop a bed of cauliflower rice, the perfect accompaniment to the lean- and clean-tasting protein.

Chicken breasts are a popular keto protein option. Chicken is considered a lean protein and is low in carbs but high in protein and vitamins, contributing to muscle growth, a healthy immune system, and even beneficial for weight management. It’s also very versatile and easy to cook and absorbs any dish’s flavor and spices well. 

Chicken breast is lower in fat than other parts of the chicken, but if you aren’t strictly counting macros or concerned about your fat intake, feel free to keep the skin on or even use chicken thighs. Lemon works incredibly well with the creamy, rich sauce and adds a zesty kick that cuts through the fat. 

Cauliflower rice works well in this dish as even though cauliflower is a vegetable, the subtly sweet taste can be blended in with different flavors. When eaten in a rice form, it compliments all protein sources. 

While this creamy lemon chicken dish tastes the best freshly served, you can easily store any leftovers in the fridge and use them within several days. Enjoy!
