In a mixing bowl, combine 1/4 cup olive oil, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 tablespoon grated ginger, 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, and 1 teaspoon black pepper to create the marinade.
Add 1 pound of boneless, skinless chicken thighs to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated, and let them marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
While the chicken is marinating, prepare the spicy sesame cauliflower rice by grating 1 medium head of cauliflower into rice-sized pieces using a box grater or food processor.
Heat 2 tablespoons of sesame oil in a large skillet over medium heat, then add the grated cauliflower and sauté for 5-7 minutes until tender.
Stir in 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, 1 teaspoon of chili paste, and 1 tablespoon of sesame seeds, mixing well to combine.
Remove the cauliflower rice from the heat and set aside. Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Remove the chicken from the marinade and grill for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Once cooked, let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing it into strips. To serve, place a generous portion of spicy sesame cauliflower rice on each plate, top with sliced grilled chicken, and garnish with chopped green onions and additional sesame seeds for a beautiful presentation.
