Chicken and Cauliflower Fried Rice

It looks like fried rice, it tastes like fried rice, but this simple dish is a lot healthier than fried rice. By swapping out rice and replacing it with cauliflower, you cut calories and carbs, and sneak more veggies into the meal. Ground chicken gives it a boost of protein. You could also skip the ground chicken and stir in leftover cooked chicken breast instead.

This cauliflower fried rice recipe makes servings for a whole week, so it’s perfect for meal prep! Or, freeze unused portions in individual bags or containers for quick dinners when you don’t have time to cook.
