Ingredients (for 2)

Preparation

  1. Step 1 - 🍳🍗⏲️
    Heat 2 tbsp of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken, season with salt and pepper, and cook until browned and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
  2. Step 2 - 🥘🍚🔥
    In the same skillet, add 1 tbsp of olive oil and garlic, cook until fragrant. Add the riced cauliflower, cover and cook until tender, stirring occasionally.
  3. Step 3 - 🐔🍅🫒
    When the cauliflower is cooked, stir in the chicken, cherry tomatoes, and chopped black olives. Cook for 2-3 more minutes until everything is heated through.
  4. Step 4 - 🍋🫒🌱
    Right before serving, drizzle with lemon juice and remaining olive oil, then sprinkle with feta cheese and fresh mint.

Additional

Traditionally, a risotto is made with rice. In a witty deviation, we've substituted riced cauliflower, a popular low-carb option. This opens a world of flavour potential with Greek cuisine's characteristic ingredients. For a vegetarian version, simply skip the chicken, and consider adding some toasted pine nuts for added protein and texture.
