Ingredients
- 200 grams Chicken breast
- 300 grams Cauliflower
- 500 milliliters Chicken broth
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 inch piece Ginger
- 2 stalks Green onions
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 250 milliliters Water
Directions
Step 1
Begin by preparing all ingredients. Mince the garlic, grate the ginger, and slice the green onions. Cut the chicken breast into thin strips.
Step 2
Wash and cut the cauliflower into small florets. Use a food processor to pulse the cauliflower into rice-sized pieces, or grate it using a box grater.
Step 3
In a large pot over medium heat, add the sesame oil. Once hot, add the minced garlic and grated ginger. Sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant.
Step 4
Add the chicken strips to the pot and sear on all sides until they are lightly browned, about 4-5 minutes.
Step 5
Pour in the chicken broth and water, and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
Step 6
Reduce the heat to low and add the riced cauliflower to the pot. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
Step 7
Season the porridge with salt and black pepper. Continue to cook on low heat for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and the cauliflower is tender.
Step 8
Adjust the seasoning to taste if needed and stir in most of the sliced green onions, reserving a few for garnish.
Step 9
Once everything is well combined and cooked, remove from heat. Let it rest for a minute before serving.
Step 10
Ladle the porridge into bowls, garnish with the remaining green onions, and serve warm. Enjoy your low-carb chicken porridge!
