Ingredients

• 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 3 units garlic cloves, minced
• 2 medium carrots, diced
• 1 medium red bell pepper, diced
• 2 cups broccoli florets
• 4 cups cauliflower rice
• 0.5 cup chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 2 tablespoons coconut aminos
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces. Season with salt and black pepper.

Step 2

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

Step 3

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, cooking for 2-3 minutes until the onion is translucent and the garlic is fragrant.

Step 4

Add the diced carrots and red bell pepper to the skillet. Sauté for 5 minutes until they start to soften.

Step 5

Stir in the broccoli florets and cook for another 4-5 minutes until the broccoli is bright green and tender-crisp.

Step 6

Add in the cauliflower rice, chicken broth, and cooked chicken pieces. Stir everything together and allow it to cook for 5-7 minutes, allowing the cauliflower rice to absorb the broth.

Step 7

Stir in the coconut aminos and lemon juice, mixing well to incorporate all flavors.

Step 8

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve hot, garnishing with fresh parsley.
