Skinny Cauliflower Fried Rice
Cauliflower rice serves as the base for juicy, spicy chicken and veggies for a meal that comes together in 10 minutes!
Ingredients
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- ¼ cup liquid aminos or soy sauce
- 2 tbs. sriracha
- 1 16-oz. bag riced cauliflower fresh or frozen
- ½ yellow onion diced
- 1 red bell pepper diced
- 1 cup diced carrots fresh or frozen
- 1 cup peas frozen, canned or fresh
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 2 eggs whisked
optional for serving
- green onions
- sesame seeds
- diced jalapeños
Instructions
- Marinate chicken: trim and dice chicken breasts into 1 inch cubes. Put into plastic bag with your soy sauce alternative and sriracha and set in fridge for 10-15 mins.
- Next, chop veggies: dice onion + seeded bell pepper, mince garlic, and slice green onions and jalapeños for serving.
- Pull chicken from fridge and bring to room temp for 5 mins. In wok or sauté pan, heat 1 tbs. olive oil and 1 tsp. sesame oil and add chicken when hot — try not to crowd the pan (work in batches if you need). Place chicken onto plate once cooked.
- Cook veggies: in same pan, add onion and bell peppers. Cook for 5 mins before adding frozen corn, frozen peas and carrots, and frozen rice. Cook for another 3-5 minutes then add garlic. After 30 seconds, move veggies aside and make room to scramble eggs in pan. When cooked add back in chicken and a little more soy sauce alternative to deglaze pan.
- To serve: top with green onions, jalapeños, sesame seeds and more sriracha!
