- 1½ lbs. boneless (skinless chicken thighs)
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 2 tsp. ground cumin
- 1 tsp. ground coriander
- 1½ tsp. paprika (may substitute smoked paprika)
- ½ tsp. turmeric
- 1 tsp. salt
- ¼ tsp. black pepper
- 3 Tbsp. Primal Kitchen Avocado Oil (divided (may substitute olive oil))
- Juice of ½ lemon
- ½ medium red onion (thinly sliced lengthwise)
- 2 small bell peppers (any color)
- 4 cups riced cauliflower (~16 ounces)
- 4 cups chopped romaine lettuce
- 1 cup grape or cherry tomatoes (halved)
- 1 small cucumber (diced)
- Handful of chopped (fresh cilantro (optional))
- ⅓ cup Primal Kitchen Cilantro-Lime Dressing and Marinade
- Place the chicken in a zip-top bag or container with a lid. Combine garlic, cumin, coriander, paprika, turmeric, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Add 2 Tbsp. oil and juice of ½ lemon and stir to combine.
- Pour marinade over chicken and massage to coat well. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes and up to 48 hours.
- When ready to cook, preheat the oven to 375℉. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Remove chicken from marinade, discard any excess marinade. Place chicken in a single layer on one end of the baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes.
- Remove pan from the oven, add peppers and onions to the middle of the baking sheet and the riced cauliflower to the end opposite the chicken. Drizzle cauliflower with remaining 1 Tbsp. oil and toss gently to coat. Sprinkle veggies with a pinch of salt.
- Return the pan to the oven. Bake an additional 15-20 minutes or until chicken is cooked through (165℉ on an instant-read thermometer) and veggies are tender.
- Remove pan from the oven. Serve chicken and peppers over cauliflower rice along with chopped lettuce, tomatoes, and cucumbers. Drizzle with Primal Kitchen Cilantro-Lime Dressing, sprinkle with chopped cilantro (if using) and serve with lemon wedges.
