Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Chicken breast
- 300 grams Cauliflower
- 500 milliliters Chicken broth
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 inch piece Ginger
- 2 stalks Green onions
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 250 milliliters Water
Instructions
Begin by preparing all ingredients. Mince the garlic, grate the ginger, and slice the green onions. Cut the chicken breast into thin strips.
Wash and cut the cauliflower into small florets. Use a food processor to pulse the cauliflower into rice-sized pieces, or grate it using a box grater.
In a large pot over medium heat, add the sesame oil. Once hot, add the minced garlic and grated ginger. Sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant.
Add the chicken strips to the pot and sear on all sides until they are lightly browned, about 4-5 minutes.
Pour in the chicken broth and water, and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
Reduce the heat to low and add the riced cauliflower to the pot. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
Season the porridge with salt and black pepper. Continue to cook on low heat for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and the cauliflower is tender.
Adjust the seasoning to taste if needed and stir in most of the sliced green onions, reserving a few for garnish.
Once everything is well combined and cooked, remove from heat. Let it rest for a minute before serving.
Ladle the porridge into bowls, garnish with the remaining green onions, and serve warm. Enjoy your low-carb chicken porridge!
