Ingredients
  

For the Base
  • 1 pound boneless chicken thighs cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 head cauliflower riced or finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger grated
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric
  • 1 can coconut milk full-fat
For the Garnish
  • 1 cup fresh cilantro chopped
  • 1 lime lime wedges

Method
 

  1. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Add the garlic, ginger, and turmeric to the skillet. Stir and cook for an additional 2 minutes until fragrant.
  3. Pour in the coconut milk, stirring to combine. Bring to a simmer and reduce heat to low. Allow to cook for 10 minutes to let the flavors meld.
  4. While the chicken simmers, prepare the cauliflower rice. If not pre-riced, pulse cauliflower florets in a food processor until they resemble rice grains.
  5. After 10 minutes, stir the riced cauliflower into the skillet. Mix well and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes until the cauliflower is tender.
  6. Remove from heat and garnish with fresh cilantro and lime wedges before serving.
