Ingredients
4 Chicken Thighs - Skin on and boneless (you can use the ones with a bone but the cooking time will be longer)
1 Zucchini
1 large Cauliflower
A few Cherry Tomatoes or half a Tomato
2 slices of Bacon
1/2 clove of Garlic
1 Red Onion
1 Carrot
Butter
EVOO
S + P
Method
Start by choosing a pan that will be large enough to hold everything in. Put it on your stove and let it heat up, then add a little bit of oil and place in your chicken thighs, skin side down.
Give them a sprinkle of salt and let the skin brown up nicely, it'll take about 5 minutes on high.
While that's cooking, use either a grater or food processor and add in the garlic, onion, carrot, zucchini and tomato and blitz that till it's finely chopped.
By now you should have turned your chicken, give it another sprinkle of salt and add in the bacon, which can be diced up. Let them cook for 3 - 4 minutes, you can check if the chicken is cooked by cutting through the thickest part, there should be no pink.
Remove them from the pan and add in your chopped vegetables, if the pan needs a little more oil add it in, but it should be fine. Give them a sprinkle of salt and let them cook for a few minutes till they've softened and lightly browned.
While the veg is cooking, rinse your food processor/grater and add in your cauliflower. Pulse till you have a coarse crumb or you're happy with the size.
Then add them into the pan with the browned veg, give it all another sprinkle of salt + pepper and a little knob of butter. Keep mixing it around as you want the cauliflower to soften and combine with the veg but not brown.
You can add in a bit of water, about 1/2 cup to help it soften and become creamy, you're also lifting all the bits of free flavour stuck on the pan.
Once you're happy with the texture and you've tasted it for seasoning add it to your plate and top with the chicken.

My Tip: You can substitute the cauliflower for rice, just add enough water/stock (1 cup rice to 1.5 cup liquid) and it'll take about 15 minutes to cook.
If you prefer to have the chicken through the rice, remove the skin and chop your fillets into dices, brown them and add in the veg, once they're cooked you can then add in the cauliflower.
