A simple low-carb, high-protein GLP-1 friendly dinner recipe:

 

Ingredients

 

For the Chicken:

  • 4 boneless chicken breasts flattened, you can leave the skin on for more flavor
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice

 
For the Cauliflower Rice:

  • 1 medium head of cauliflower (or 2 cups pre-made cauliflower rice)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste

 
For the Avocado Salsa:

  • 2 ripe avocados, diced
  • 1 small tomato, diced
  • 1/4 red onion, finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp cilantro, chopped
  • 1 tbsp lime juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste

 

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Chicken:
    • Preheat the grill or a grill/frying pan over medium-high heat.
    • Rub the chicken breasts with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
    • Grill the chicken for 6-7 minutes per side or until fully cooked and juices run clear. Squeeze lemon juice over the chicken for extra flavor and cover with a lid. Let the chicken rest 5 minutes.
  2. Make the Cauliflower Rice:
    • If using fresh cauliflower, pulse florets in a food processor until rice-sized.
    • Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat, can be the same pan you cooked the chicken in. Add chopped onion and garlic, sauté until softened.
    • Add cauliflower rice and cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. Prepare the Avocado Salsa:
    • In a bowl, combine diced avocados, tomato, red onion, cilantro, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Gently toss to combine.
  4. Serve:
    • Plate the grilled chicken alongside a generous serving of cauliflower rice, and top with the fresh avocado salsa.
