In a perfect world we would all happily eat chicken breast and veggies for dinner each night. There would be no rice or bread on the table, no sugar, beans or potatoes. Simply a luscious side of protein with a generous serving of nutrient-dense veggies.
Only that would get boring really fast, right?
Maybe not! This recipe dresses up chicken and veggies so cleverly that you’ll feel like you’re eating full-on, grain-filled, naughty Chinese takeout! The stir fried rice made with cauliflower, instead of grain, mimics traditional rice in an uncanny way.
This meal comes together in about 30 minutes, including the rice-making, so feel free to fit it into your busy weeknight rotation. This is a meal that truly satisfies. Enjoy!
