Healthy Ground Chicken Fried Rice! Cauliflower rice replaces the grains in this low carb fried rice dish. Naturally gluten free, a good source of veggies and incredibly delicious!
I have to tell you, this healthier fried recipe with ground chicken is my new favorite lunch and easy dinner. Simple to make and you can’t even taste the cauliflower!
It’s packed with protein and fiber for a filling alternative to takeout that’s lower calorie like this cashew chicken casserole recipe.
Everything I share on my blog are meals I eat. Nothing goes to waste! That’s why you don’t see many Vegan recipes on here. While I feel eating more plants is a good thing and I aim to eat 6-8 veggies daily myself, vegan recipes aren’t for me. They’re carbs on carbs on carbs, and my body does not feel good eating that many carbs.
This dish is by far my new favorite go to meal prep lunch and dinner. And, if you are Vegan you just omit the chicken. But gosh, it’s just so good! Did I mention that? It really is!
For this recipe, I used ground chicken breast so the consistency would be similar to the cauliflower rice to make the two blend well together. Any lean ground protein, tofu tempeh or even chicken breast would work well with this recipe.
I also bought prepped cauliflower rice from the store so it was ready to go and I didn’t have to mess with “ricing” it in a blender. A huge meal prep timesaver and I’m all about saving time in the kitchen where you can!
If you’re looking for a treat to serve with your low-calorie fried rice, I recommend trying these healthy raspberry muffins or a healthy rice krispies treat.
