Ingredients

• 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast
• 1 head cauliflower
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 bell pepper, chopped
• 1 zucchini, diced
• 1 carrot, grated
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 2 green onions, sliced
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Cut the cauliflower into florets and place them in a food processor. Pulse until the cauliflower resembles the size of grains of rice. Set aside.

Step 2

Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized cubes. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.

Step 3

In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken cubes and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the chopped bell pepper, diced zucchini, and grated carrot to the skillet. Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.

Step 6

Add the cauliflower rice to the vegetables and pour in the chicken broth. Stir well to combine.

Step 7

Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the cauliflower rice is tender and most of the liquid has been absorbed.

Step 8

Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Add the soy sauce, and stir everything together until well-combined.

Step 9

Cook for an additional 2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and black pepper if necessary.

Step 10

Remove the skillet from the heat. Stir in the sliced green onions and chopped parsley.

Step 11

Serve hot. Enjoy your delicious low carb savory rice with vegetables and chicken!
