Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium head cauliflower
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil
- 0.5 cup yellow onion
- 1 small carrot
- 1 cup cooked chicken breast
- 3 tablespoons coconut aminos
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 1 tablespoon green onions
- 4 tablespoons ketchup
Instructions
Begin by preparing the cauliflower rice. Remove the leaves from the cauliflower and cut it into florets.
Use a food processor to pulse the florets into rice-sized pieces. Set aside.
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of avocado oil over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and chopped carrot to the skillet, sautéing until they are soft, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the cooked chicken, followed by the cauliflower rice. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add coconut aminos, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs with nutritional yeast, and a pinch of salt and pepper until fully blended.
Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of avocado oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat.
Pour half of the egg mixture into the pan, swirling to coat the bottom. Allow to cook until the edges start to set and the center is still slightly jiggly, about 2-3 minutes.
Place half of the cauliflower rice mixture on one side of the egg, then fold the opposite side over to form an omelet.
Gently transfer the omelet to a plate, seam side down. Repeat with the remaining egg mixture and cauliflower rice to make the second serving.
Top each omurice with 2 tablespoons of Whole30 compliant ketchup and a sprinkle of chopped green onions.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Whole30 Omurice!
