Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken breast
- 4 cups cauliflower rice
- 4 cups chicken stock
- 2 inches piece, sliced ginger
- 3 garlic cloves
- 1 bay leaf
- 3 chopped green onions
- 2 tablespoons coconut aminos
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 0.5 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 2 sliced for serving (optional) boiled eggs
Instructions
In a large pot, add the chicken breasts and cover them with the chicken stock.
Add the sliced ginger, whole garlic cloves, and bay leaf to the pot.
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
Remove the chicken from the pot and set aside to cool slightly. Strain the broth into a large bowl and discard the ginger, garlic, and bay leaf.
Return the broth to the pot and add cauliflower rice, coconut aminos, salt, and black pepper.
Shred the cooked chicken using two forks and add it back into the pot.
Stir in green onions and cook over medium heat for another 10 minutes, allowing the cauliflower rice to soften and the flavors to meld.
Add the lemon juice and stir through. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Ladle the chicken porridge into bowls and garnish with fresh cilantro and slices of boiled eggs if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy your Whole30-compliant chicken porridge!
