Ingredients

3 cups cauliflower rice *1 small head of cauliflower
1 tbsp + 1 tsp. toasted sesame oil
2 large eggs, beaten
3 cloves garlic, minced
½ cup diced onion
¼ cup each of diced carrots, celery, and red bell pepper
3 tbsp chopped chives
3 tbsp coconut aminos *or soy sauce
3 cups cooked and chopped chicken

Instructions

Cut the cauliflower into florets. Working in batches, pulse the florets in a food processor until they resemble the size of rice. Set aside.
In a large skillet heat 1 teaspoon of toasted sesame oil over medium heat. Scramble the eggs, then transfer them to a chopping board and give them a quick, rough chop. Set aside.
Wipe out the skillet, add a tablespoon of toasted sesame oil and return to the medium heat. Sauté the onion, carrots, celery, and peppers until crisp-tender, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the garlic and stir for another minute.
Add the cauliflower rice and stir very well. Lower the heat to medium-low, cover the skillet, and cook until the cauliflower is tender about 5-8 minutes.
Uncover the skillet and stir in the chopped eggs, chives, cooked chicken, and coconut aminos.
Serve warm.

Notes

Store any leftovers in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 2 days. This dish reheats really well so enjoy the leftovers for lunch the next day.

If you don't have a food processor a box grater also works for making the cauliflower rice.

TIP! Save the steps of cutting and processing the cauliflower florets into rice by purchasing pre-made cauliflower rice. It is available in most grocery stores in the produce section.

If you don't have any leftover cooked chicken use rotisserie in this recipe.
