Ingredients
  

Peri Peri Marinade:

  • 2 medium red chiles
  • 1 medium fresh green chile
  • 1 teaspoon fresh garlic minced
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 ½ teaspoons paprika
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar

Chicken Skewers:

  • 24 ounces boneless, skinless chicken thighs

Pepper and Tomato Cauliflower Rice:

  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 1 medium orange pepper
  • 1 medium green onion
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 16 ounces cauliflower rice

Instructions
 

  • Using the broil function of your oven (alternatively, you can use the grill), roast the chili peppers until charred.  Set aside.
  • In a saucepan, add garlic, salt, and spices.  Add oil and vinegar.  Turn heat on to medium and simmer for 2-3 minutes.
  • Remove from heat.  Add chilies to the oil and allow to steep until cool.
  • Transfer to a blender or food processor and pulse until pureed and homogenous.
  • If using wooden skewers, soak in water for at least one hour.  In a ziplock bag, add chicken pieces, then cover with marinade.
  • Seal and refrigerate to marinate for at least one hour, a maximum of 24 hours.
  • Skewer chicken pieces.
  • Grill over coals, basting with marinade leftover in the ziplock bag. Alternately, place a griddle pan in the oven and preheat to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Once the oven is at temperature, set timer for 6 minutes.  Take the griddle pan out and cook the chicken on the dry griddle pan until seared on both sides.  Transfer the chicken to a baking sheet, return to the oven, and roast for 10-15 minutes or until cooked through. Baste halfway with marinade leftover in the ziplock bag.
  • In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Saute bell pepper and white tips of the green onion until aromatic (save the green sections for plating.)
  • Add tomato paste and paprika.  Swirl to combine and to toast slightly or for about 30 seconds.
  • Add cauliflower rice.  Mix well.  Continue to cook until dry.
  • Plate with cauliflower rice on the bottom, chicken on top, and topped with remaining green onion slices.
