Ingredients
- 1 medium head cauliflower, chopped into florets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 5 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 large carrot, peeled and thinly sliced diagonally
- 1 stalk celery, diced
- 6 cups chicken broth
- ½-1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 pound chicken breasts
- salt and black pepper, to taste
- Garnish: chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- In a blender (or food processor), pulse the cauliflower florets until rice-sized pieces have formed. You may need to do this in batches.
- In a large pot over medium heat, heat olive oil. Add the onion, cook for 3-4 minutes until translucent. Add the ginger and garlic, and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add the riced cauliflower to the pot and cook for 5-8 minutes until lightly browned.
- Add the carrots, celery, chicken broth, and crushed red pepper flakes. Bring to a simmer. Once simmering, add the chicken breasts and cook for 15-20 minutes, until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165F/75C.
- Carefully remove the chicken from the pot and shred it. *Chicken will be hot, handle it carefully.
- Return shredded chicken to the pot and stir to combine everything. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
- Garnish with chopped parsley. Enjoy!
