Directions
- Attach Spiralizer Attachment to KitchenAid® Stand Mixer. Center one plantain section on fruit and vegetable skewer; attach to Spiralizer. Attach medium spiralizing blade and position at end of plantain. Place medium bowl below blade to catch plantains. Turn stand mixer to speed 4 and process until blade reaches end of plantain. Repeat with remaining plantains. Place plantains in food processor; pulse 4 times or until plantains are finely chopped and resemble rice. Set aside.
- Combine 1 teaspoon salt, black pepper and cajun seasoning in small bowl; rub over all sides of chicken. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken in batches 5 to 7 minutes or until browned on all sides, adding additional 1 tablespoon oil between batches. Transfer chicken to plate.
- Heat remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in same skillet. Add shallots and minced garlic; cook 1 minute, stirring constantly. Add plantains, remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and season with additional black pepper, if desired; cook 4 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add broth and lemon peel, stirring to scrape up browned bits. Top with chicken.
