  • Pat chicken thighs dry. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season chicken with salt and black pepper, then coat evenly in corn starch. Sear 4–5 minutes per side until golden and cooked through; transfer to a plate.
    Chicken Thighs: 4 thighs
    Vegetable Oil: 1 tbsp
    Salt: 1 pinch
    Black Pepper: 1 pinch

    Butter: 25 g
    Onion: 1 onion
  • Stir in garlic for 30 seconds. Add Italian seasoning, paprika, chilli flakes, and Cajun mix. Pour in chicken stock and cream, squeeze in the lemon, and add parmesan. Simmer 5 minutes, stirring, until slightly thickened.
    Garlic: 2 cloves
    Paprika: 1 tbsp
    Chilli Flakes: 1 tsp
    Cajun Mix: 1 tbsp

  • Return chicken and any resting juices to the pan. Simmer gently 8–10 minutes, turning and basting so the sauce coats the chicken well.
  • Meanwhile, prepare the cauliflower rice: microwave or sauté in a dry pan for 3–5 minutes until hot and tender. Season to taste and serve with the Cajun chicken.
