Cook Time

The cook time for this recipe is about 15 minutes. You'll need to cook the cauliflower rice, vegetables, and eggs before adding the chicken and seasonings.

Ingredients

  • 1 head of cauliflower
  • 2 chicken breasts, diced
  • 3 eggs
  • 1/2 cup diced onion
  • 1/2 cup diced bell pepper
  • 1/2 cup diced carrot
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon ginger powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Equipment

  • Large skillet or wok
  • Cutting board and knife

  • Bowl for beating eggs

Method

  1. Cut the cauliflower into florets and grate it using a grater or food processor to make cauliflower rice.

Recipe Tips

To make the cauliflower rice, you can either grate the cauliflower using a grater or pulse it in a food processor until it resembles rice. Be sure to remove any large stems before grating or pulsing. When cooking the chicken, make sure it's diced into small pieces so it cooks evenly. You can also use leftover cooked chicken instead of cooking it from raw. To add more flavor, you can garnish the fried rice with chopped green onions or cilantro. You can also drizzle with additional soy sauce or hot sauce if desired.
