Ingredients
- 1 large head Cauliflower
- 2 pieces Chicken breast
- 4 cups Chicken bone broth
- 2 tablespoons Coconut aminos
- 1 inch piece, sliced Ginger
- 3 cloves, minced Garlic
- 2 stalks, chopped Green onions
- 1 tablespoon Coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
Directions
Step 1
Begin by cutting the cauliflower into florets and processing them in a food processor until they resemble rice grains.
Step 2
In a large pot, heat 1 tablespoon of coconut oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sliced ginger, and sauté until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
Step 3
Add the chicken breast to the pot and sear each side until slightly golden, about 3 minutes per side.
Step 4
Pour in the chicken bone broth and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cover the pot. Let the chicken cook for 15 minutes or until it is cooked through.
Step 5
Remove the chicken breasts from the pot and shred them using two forks. Set aside.
Step 6
Add the processed cauliflower rice to the pot, stir to combine, and continue to simmer for another 10 minutes or until the cauliflower is tender.
Step 7
Stir the shredded chicken back into the pot along with the coconut aminos, salt, and black pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Step 8
Drizzle the sesame oil over the congee before serving for added flavor.
Step 9
Serve the congee hot, garnished with chopped green onions.
