Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 3 units garlic cloves, minced
- 2 medium carrots, diced
- 1 medium red bell pepper, diced
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 4 cups cauliflower rice
- 0.5 cup chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons coconut aminos
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces. Season with salt and black pepper.
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook for about 5-7 minutes until golden and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, cooking for 2-3 minutes until the onion is translucent and the garlic is fragrant.
Add the diced carrots and red bell pepper to the skillet. Sauté for 5 minutes until they start to soften.
Stir in the broccoli florets and cook for another 4-5 minutes until the broccoli is bright green and tender-crisp.
Add in the cauliflower rice, chicken broth, and cooked chicken pieces. Stir everything together and allow it to cook for 5-7 minutes, allowing the cauliflower rice to absorb the broth.
Stir in the coconut aminos and lemon juice, mixing well to incorporate all flavors.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve hot, garnishing with fresh parsley.
