Low Carb Tabbouleh

Tabbouleh is a Middle-Eastern dish is easy to make and packed with flavor. Traditionally this dish is made with bulgar and mint but we decided to change it up by using cauliflower rice and cilantro. It takes just minutes to put together and goes great with any protein. It is specially delicious with the rich flavors of lamb or any game meat.

Ingredients

8 chicken thighs with skin on
2 tbsp olive oil
salt to taste
pepper to taste
2 tbsp unsalted butter
3 sprigs rosemary
10 sprigs thyme
3 cloves garlic smashed

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°
Season chicken thighs generously with salt and pepper. Add olive oil to pan over medium-high heat. When oil is hot place seasoned chicken thighs skin side down. Cook for about 6-8 minutes, careful not to burn. When skin looks golden brown flip over and cook another 6 minutes. At this point the chicken may look cooked but the inside will need more time, transfer chicken to a baking sheet and place in the oven. Cook for an additional 10-15 min, using a meat thermometer make sure center of chicken is cooked to 165° and remove from oven. Discard any remaining oil left in the searing pan and place on stove over medium heat. Add butter, garlic, rosemary and thyme and stir everything together. Your house is going to be smelling really nice by now. Return chicken thighs back to the pan and spoon melted butter over chicken for about a minute or two. Serve warm.
You can serve over rice or pasta. If you eat a low carb diet this dish pairs beautifully with an avocado and tomato salad.
