This cauliflower rice stir-fry is a healthy and delicious way to enjoy your favorite Chinese takeout dish without all the guilt! It's packed with chicken and vegetables and is cooked in a flavorful sauce. Serve it over cauliflower rice for a complete Paleo meal.
Ingredients:
- One tablespoon of olive oil
- Boneless, skinless chicken breasts weighing 1 pound, chopped into bite-sized pieces.

- One large head of cauliflower, riced (about 4 cups)
- 1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 1/4 cup stir-fry sauce*
- One small zucchini, diced
- One red bell pepper, diced
To make the cauliflower rice: Cut the florets off the cauliflower and pulse in a food processor until they're broken up into small pieces. Please do it sparingly, or you'll end up with mush.
The riced cauliflower is added to a big skillet heated to medium heat. Cook for 5-7 minutes, occasionally stirring, until the cauliflower is tender. Add the chicken broth and stir-fry sauce and continue cooking for another minute. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a large skillet or wok, heat the oil over high heat. Add the chicken pieces and season with salt and pepper. Stir-fry for 5-7 minutes until cooked through
