Directions

Step 1

In a bowl, marinate the chicken pieces with Greek yogurt, ginger paste, garlic paste, turmeric, red chili powder, garam masala, cumin powder, and salt. Let it sit for at least 15 minutes.

Step 2

Heat ghee or coconut oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add sliced onions and sauté until golden brown.

Step 3

Add cinnamon stick, cardamom pods, cloves, and bay leaf to the pan. Stir for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the marinated chicken to the pan and cook on medium heat until the chicken is fully cooked and the spices are well integrated, about 15 minutes.

Step 5

In another pan, lightly sauté the cauliflower rice in a bit of ghee or coconut oil for about 5-7 minutes, until it's slightly tender.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to low, and layer the cooked cauliflower rice over the chicken in the large pan.

Step 7

Sprinkle fresh coriander, mint leaves, and lemon juice over the top. Cover with a lid and let it steam for 5-7 minutes.

Step 8

Serve the Keto Chicken Biryani hot, garnished with additional mint and coriander, if desired.
