Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 cups riced cauliflower (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 cup mixed frozen vegetables (peas, carrots, corn—optional for strict keto)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari (for gluten-free)
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 green onions, sliced, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken and set it aside.
  2. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet. Cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Add the riced cauliflower and frozen vegetables (if using) to the skillet. Stir frequently and cook for 5-7 minutes until the cauliflower softens slightly and any moisture evaporates.
  4. Push the cauliflower mixture to one side of the skillet. Pour the beaten eggs onto the empty side. Scramble the eggs until just set, then mix them into the cauliflower.
  5. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Pour the soy sauce and sesame oil over everything. Stir well to combine and heat through for 1 minute.
  6. Season with black pepper. Taste and add more soy sauce if needed.
  7. Serve immediately, garnished with sliced green onions. This recipe is a great option if you are looking for alternatives to meal planning services.

Notes

  • For a shrimp version, substitute the chicken with 1 pound of peeled and deveined shrimp, cooking them for only 2-3 minutes until pink.
  • To make this recipe taste like takeout, add a dash of white vinegar or a pinch of MSG (if you use it).
  • If you are following a strict keto meal plan delivery approach, skip the carrots and corn in the frozen vegetable mix.
