Ingredients

1 lb chicken breast diced
4 cups riced cauliflower fresh or frozen
2 large eggs beaten
1 small onion diced
1 cup carrots diced
1 cup peas frozen or fresh
1 red bell pepper diced
3 cloves garlic minced
1 tbsp fresh ginger grated
3 tbsp soy sauce or tamari for gluten-free
2 tbsp sesame oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Optional: sliced green onions or sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions

Prepare the Chicken: Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
Rice the Cauliflower: If you’re using a whole head of cauliflower, pulse it in a food processor until it resembles rice grains. If using pre-riced cauliflower, skip this step.
Cook the Chicken: Heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the diced chicken and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until fully cooked. Remove from the pan and set aside.
Scramble the Eggs: In the same pan, cook the beaten eggs until scrambled. Remove and set aside with the chicken.
Cook the Vegetables: Add the remaining sesame oil to the pan. Sauté the onions, carrots, and bell pepper for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add the garlic and ginger and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the Cauliflower Rice: Stir in the riced cauliflower, peas, and soy sauce. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the cauliflower is tender.
Combine and Serve: Return the chicken and scrambled eggs to the pan. Stir everything together and cook for another 2 minutes. Garnish with green onions or sesame seeds if desired. Serve hot.

Notes

For extra flavor, add a splash of rice vinegar or a drizzle of sriracha for a spicy kick.
