Cauliflower Chicken Fried Rice Meal Prep Recipes

CAULIFLOWER CHICKEN FRIED RICE

Steps:

• Stir chicken, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, brown sugar, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, and cornstarch together in a large bowl.
• Heat a wok or large saucepan over high heat. Swirl in 1 tablespoon vegetable oil. Spread chicken mixture in a single layer over the surface of the wok; cook for 1 minute. Flip and toss chicken. Spread out again; cook and stir for 2 minutes more. Transfer chicken to a plate.
• Heat remaining 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in the wok over medium heat. Add light green part of the scallions, garlic, and ginger; cook and stir until fragrant and softened, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Stir 4 tablespoons soy sauce, cauliflower rice, and 1/2 teaspoon salt into the wok. Cook until cauliflower starts to crisp, about 3 minutes. Stir peas and carrots into the wok. Cook, stirring occasionally, until warmed through, about 5 minutes.
• Make a well in the center of the wok; pour in beaten eggs. Stir eggs with a spatula until scrambled, about 2 minutes. Stir in chicken, remaining 1 tablespoon soy sauce, remaining 1 teaspoon sesame oil, dark green parts of the scallions, pineapple, peanuts, and rice vinegar.

CHICKEN CAULIFLOWER "FRIED RICE"

Steps:

• Cut the cauliflower into chunks. Working in batches, pulse the cauliflower in a food processor until coarse in texture, like rice. This recipe uses about 4 cups of cauliflower rice. If you have any leftover, save it for another use.
• Heat a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 teaspoon of the canola oil. Add the eggs and quickly scramble. Transfer the eggs to a plate and set aside. Heat the remaining 2 teaspoons canola oil. Add the garlic and ginger and cook, stirring constantly, about 1 minute. Add the peas and carrots, scallions and cauliflower. Stir-fry until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes.
• As the vegetables are cooking, whisk the soy sauce and sesame oil together in a small bowl. Stir the sauce and chicken into the cauliflower mixture. Cook an additional minute or 2. Stir the cooked eggs back into the mixture. Serve with hot sauce and additional soy sauce if desired.

HEALTHY CHICKEN CAULIFLOWER FRIED RICE RECIPE

Steps:

• Heat half of the oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Add the chicken breast and arrange in a single layer.
• Cook undisturbed until almost all pieces are no longer pink. Sprinkle it with cumin, turmeric, salt, and pepper and stir. Continue to cook for 3-4 minutes more, or until cooked through and golden. Set aside.
• To the same skillet add the remaining oil. Saute the onion and carrots until they begin to soften. Stir in the garlic, peas, and cauliflower rice.
• Cook, stirring frequently, until the cauliflower rice is tender, around 5-7 minutes. If the dimension of the pan allows, bring the cauliflower rice to one side of the pan; alternatively, you can remove some and place them on the same plate with the cooked chicken.
• Pour in the beaten eggs and cook until scrambled, then stir everything together.
• Return the cooked chicken back to the skillet and stir with the cauliflower rice.
• Top with green onions and sesame seeds.

CAULIFLOWER CHICKEN FRIED RICE (30 MIN!)

Steps:

• Remove the cauliflower leaves and stems. Push the cauliflower florets into a running food processor, with a grating attachment to make cauliflower rice. Alternatively, rice the cauliflower using a box grater.
• In a large saute pan over medium heat, heat one tablespoon of butter. Once hot add the chicken pieces and season with salt and pepper. Saute until cooked through, about 5-6 minutes. Transfer the cooked chicken to a plate and set aside.
• Return the pan to medium-high heat and add the remaining butter. Add the onion, garlic, and carrots. Saute for 4-5 minutes, until the onions are translucent and the carrots have softened up a bit. Add the peas and saute for one more minute.
• Whisk the eggs in a small bowl and push the veggies to the edge of the pan. Add the eggs in the center and cook until barely scrambled.
• Add the cauliflower and chicken, and saute for 5 more minutes, until the cauliflower is soft but not mushy.
• Remove from the heat and add in the coconut aminos, sesame oil, and chopped green onions. Season with more salt and pepper to taste.
