DIRECTIONS

To serve: 8-10 olives

  1. Make the marinated onions: Combine all ingredients in a bowl, and set aside.

  2. Make the tahini sauce: Combine all sauce ingredients in a blender, and blend until smooth.

  3. Make the chicken: Slice the chicken across the grain, about 1/2 inch thick. In a small bowl, mix together the spices (cumin through cloves). Set aside.

  4. Heat a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 1/2 tablespoons of the oil. Lay the chicken in the skillet in a single layer. Sprinkle the spice mixture evenly over the chicken. Allow the chicken to fry, without moving it, until crisp.

  5. Pour the remaining 1/2 tablespoon oil over the chicken and flip the chicken. Fry until the chicken is cooked through, and then remove it from the pan.

  6. Add the cauliflower rice to the pan. Sauté just until tender, about 4 minutes. Scrape the contents of the skillet into a bowl.

  7. Serve the chicken with the cauliflower rice, tahini sauce, marinated red onions, and olives.
