Ingredients
  

  • 1 head cauliflower (or 4 cups frozen cauliflower rice)
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breast cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 tablespoons avocado or vegetable oil
  • 1 cup diced carrots
  • 1 red bell pepper (diced)
  • 1 yellow bell pepper (diced)
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 2-4 cloves minced garlic
  • 1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup
  • to taste salt and pepper
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch optional for crispiness

Equipment

  • Food Processor
  • Large Skillet or Wok
  • Measuring Spoons
  • Knife and Cutting Board
  • Avocado or Vegetable Oil

Method
 

  1. If using fresh cauliflower, chop it into chunks and pulse in a food processor until it resembles rice grains.
  2. Heat oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat until smoking.
  3. If using chicken, toss the pieces with cornstarch, salt, and pepper, then add to the pan in a single layer. Cook until golden brown, about 1 minute on each side, then remove from the pan.
  4. Add diced carrots to the pan and stir-fry for about 2 minutes until starting to soften.
  5. Add diced red and yellow bell peppers and continue to stir-fry until tender.
  6. Push vegetables to the side of the pan and add minced garlic and ginger, cooking for about 20 seconds until fragrant.
  7. Add frozen peas and cauliflower rice (make sure to squeeze out moisture if using frozen) to the pan. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sogginess.
  8. Whisk together soy sauce, sesame oil, and honey or maple syrup, then pour over the mixture in the pan.
  9. Return cooked chicken to the skillet, toss everything together, and cook for one more minute.
  10. Serve immediately, garnished with green onions or nuts if desired.
