Method
- Pat chicken dry and cut into bite-sized pieces. In a bowl, toss chicken with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add zucchini slices in a single layer. Cook 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add remaining oil and 1 tablespoon butter. Add chicken and cook 4-5 minutes per side until golden and cooked through (165°F). Remove and set aside with zucchini.
- Reduce heat to medium. Add remaining 3 tablespoons butter to the pan. Once melted, sauté minced garlic for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Pour in chicken broth and lemon juice, scraping up browned bits from the pan bottom. Simmer 2-3 minutes to reduce slightly.
- Stir in heavy cream and simmer 1 minute until sauce thickens slightly.
- Return chicken and zucchini to the pan, tossing to coat in the sauce. Simmer 1 more minute to heat through.
- Serve immediately over cauliflower rice, garnished with fresh parsley and extra lemon slices.
Notes
For extra thick sauce, you can dust the chicken in a little flour before searing, though this adds carbs.
