Ingredients

  • 1.5 pounds Bone-in skin-on chicken thighs (approx 4 medium)
  • 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil
  • 1.5 tablespoons Greek Seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon Sea salt
  • 4 cloves Garlic (minced)
  • 1 medium White onion (diced)
  • 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
  • 1 14-oz can Artichoke hearts
  • 12 ounces Cauliflower rice (fresh or frozen)
  • 1/2 medium Lemon (sliced)
US Customary - Metric

  1. In a small bowl mix together the lemon juice, olive oil, Greek seasoning, and salt. Pour over the chicken thighs and let sit for 10 minutes while preparing the remaining ingredients.

  2. Heat a cast-iron skillet over high heat. Sear the chicken, skin side down, for 5-6 minutes without moving. Flip and continue to cook for 10-15 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through. Remove, set on a plate, and cover to keep warm.

  3. Reduce the heat to low and add in the garlic and onion. Heat, stirring constantly until soft, about 2 minutes.

  4. Add in the tomatoes and artichokes, cook while stirring 1 minute. Add in the cauliflower rice and cook for 5 minutes, until soft and dry.

  5. Add in the lemon slices, chicken, and any juices that are on the plate. Cook for another minute or so to reheat the chicken.
