Ingredients

• 1 piece boneless, skinless chicken breast
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 pieces garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon ginger, minced
• 3 cups chicken broth
• 2 cups riced cauliflower
• 1 cup coconut cream
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari (for gluten-free)
• 1 bunch green onions, chopped
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons (optional) fresh cilantro, chopped
• 0.25 teaspoon (optional) red chili flakes

Directions

Step 1

Begin by seasoning the chicken breast with salt and pepper on both sides.

Step 2

In a large pot, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken breast and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the pot and let it rest before shredding it with two forks.

Step 3

To the same pot, add minced garlic and ginger, cooking them for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 4

Pour in the chicken broth and bring it to a simmer. Add the riced cauliflower, continuing to simmer until the cauliflower is tender, approximately 5 minutes.

Step 5

Stir in the coconut cream and soy sauce or tamari. Allow the mixture to cook for another 5 minutes, letting flavors meld together.

Step 6

Return the shredded chicken to the pot, stirring until it is well incorporated. Heat until the chicken is warmed through.

Step 7

Add sesame oil, chopped green onions, and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.

Step 8

Serve the porridge hot, garnished with fresh cilantro and a sprinkle of red chili flakes for extra flavor and heat.
