Chicken:
On a shallow plate, combine Parmesan cheese, garlic, paprika and Italian seasoning.
Season chicken with salt and pepper; dredge in the Parmesan cheese mixture; shake off excess; set aside.
In a large skillet, melt 2 T. butter over medium-high heat. Cook chicken until golden on both sides and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per side, depending on the thickness of chicken. Transfer to a plate.
Cauliflower Rice:
In the same skillet, melt 2 T. butter; cook garlic and onion for 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn. Add cauliflower; stir to mix and coat in melted butter. Cook, stirring for 1 minute.
Stir in 2 T. vegetable stock, half the parsley, and lemon zest. Cook 1 minute to reduce juices; add lemon juice and a few sprinkles of leftover Parmesan cheese, if desired. Adjust seasoning, to taste. Stir in the remaining parsley.
Place chicken over cauliflower rice; reheat quickly.
Serve with freshly ground black pepper, red chili pepper flakes, and more Parmesan cheese.
