Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 4 cups cauliflower rice
- 1.5 cups chicken broth
- 0.5 cup almond flour
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Begin by dicing the chicken breast into small, bite-sized pieces.
Step 2
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter and add 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add the diced chicken pieces, season with a pinch of salt and pepper, and cook until the chicken is browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Step 3
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter, and add the almond flour. Stir continuously to toast the almond flour until it is golden brown, about 3-4 minutes.
Step 4
Add the cauliflower rice to the toasted almond flour in the skillet. Stir well to combine and fully incorporate the almond flour with the cauliflower rice.
Step 5
Pour the chicken broth into the skillet, followed by the cooked chicken, parsley, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix everything together thoroughly.
Step 6
Let the mixture simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for about 10-12 minutes, or until most of the liquid is absorbed, and the cauliflower rice is tender.
Step 7
Taste and adjust the seasoning, if necessary. Serve hot, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
