Chicken and Cauliflower “Fried Rice”

I previously posted this recipe using pork. Today I made it again using the other white meat, chicken. Still delicious!!

Ingredients:

• 1 head of cauliflower

• Olive oil

• 1 Tbs minced garlic

• 1 small shallot, chopped

• 2 Tbs low sodium soy sauce more or less to taste

• 1 tsp sesame oil

• handful of fresh pea pods substitute frozen peas if you don’t have fresh

• 1 cup of shredded carrots

• 1 green pepper, julienned

• 2 chicken breasts, cubed

• Small handful cilantro, chopped

• Salt and fresh ground pepper

Directions:

1. In a food processor add cauliflower pieces. Press the pulse button quickly several times, being careful not to over process the cauliflower. It should be a similar in appearance to rice. Set cauliflower “rice” to the side.

2. Season chicken with salt and pepper.

3. In a medium to large skillet heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat and sauté chicken until browned and fully cook.

4. Remove from pan and set aside.

5. Add 2 Tbsp of oil to the already heated pan.

6. Sauté garlic and shallot briefly.

7. Add the cauliflower “rice” cook for 5-7 minutes or until the “rice” begins to take color, consistently stirring.

8. Add soy sauce and sesame oil and stir in.

9. Add carrots, pepper, and pea pods. Sauté for 5-6 minutes, stirring frequently.

10. Add diced chicken and heat through. Stir in cilantro and serve!
