Begin by soaking the dried porcini mushrooms in 1 cup of hot water for about 15 minutes, then drain and chop them. Set aside the soaking liquid for later use.
Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add minced garlic and continue to sauté for another minute until fragrant.
Add diced carrot and chopped celery to the pot. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften.
Add the chicken thighs to the pot and cook, turning occasionally, until lightly browned on the outside.
Stir in the chopped porcini mushrooms, fresh white mushrooms, chicken broth, reserved mushroom soaking liquid, bay leaf, salt, and black pepper.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover and cook for 20 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.
Remove the chicken from the pot, let it cool slightly, then shred the meat and discard the bones.
Return the shredded chicken to the pot and add the cauliflower rice.
Simmer for an additional 10 minutes or until the cauliflower rice is tender.
Remove the bay leaf. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
