Chicken fried cauliflower rice is better than Chinese takeout – lower calories and carbs, more nutrients and fiber, and WAY better flavor.  Keep this recipe in mind next time you get a craving!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (10 oz) bag of cauliflower florets
  • 1 lb. chicken tenderloins
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup frozen pea/carrot mix
  • 0.5 cup bell pepper and onion mix
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons teriyaki marinade
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons coconut aminos
  • Black pepper and cayenne pepper to taste


Instructions

  1. Cut chicken tenderloins into bite sized pieces (I used kitchen scissors) and put in a bag or tupperware with teriyaki marinade for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Make cauliflower rice – put florets in food processor and pulse until rice-like.  Be careful not to overdo it so your pieces are too small (they will become mushy when cooked).
  3. Put rice in a large frying pan on the stove over medium-high heat.  Add all vegetables, and stir to combine.
  4. Take your two eggs, crack into a bowl and whisk.
  5. When rice has cooked for about 10 minutes, lower oven to medium-low heat and create a well in the middle of the pan, add eggs, and cook the eggs (Don’t mix in with the rice until they have almost fully cooked – however it is fine if a little rice gets in).
  6. While rice is cooking, cook the chicken bites on a skillet until fully cooked.
  7. Once eggs are cooked, mix in with rice mixture.  Return heat back to medium-high heat.
  8. Add soy sauce to rice and stir to combine.
  9. Add chicken and pepper, if desired, mix to combine, and serve!

Notes

You can also use a bag of pre-riced cauliflower to make this recipe quicker and easier.

You can sub the coconut aminos for tamari or soy sauce depending on preference and dietary restrictions.
