Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams Chicken breast
- 500 grams Cauliflower rice
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon Ginger
- 1 medium Zucchini
- 1 large Bell pepper
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free option)
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil (or avocado oil)
- 2 stalks Green onions
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Cut the chicken breast into small bite-sized pieces and season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Prepare the vegetables by finely chopping the zucchini, bell pepper, and green onions. Mince the garlic and grate the ginger.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken pieces to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until fully cooked and golden. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sauté the garlic and ginger for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the chopped zucchini and bell pepper to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes until slightly softened.
Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet and crack the eggs into the empty space. Scramble the eggs until they are fully cooked, then mix them into the vegetables.
Add the cooked chicken back into the skillet along with the cauliflower rice. Stir to combine all the ingredients.
Pour in the soy sauce (or tamari), sesame oil, and season with additional salt and pepper as needed. Stir everything well and cook for 3-4 minutes until the cauliflower rice is tender but not mushy.
Top the fried rice with chopped green onions for garnish and serve warm.
