How to Make Chicken with Fried Cauliflower Rice:
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| Step 1: Cook the chicken | Heat a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of grapeseed oil, then the chicken. Cook until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest for 6 minutes before slicing. |
| Step 2: Scramble the eggs | Add 2 teaspoons of grapeseed oil to the skillet, then crack in the eggs. Scramble until just set, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to a bowl. |
| Step 3: Cook the vegetables | Add the red pepper, carrot, and onion to the skillet. Stir often until tender, 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Toss with the scallions and peas. |
| Step 4: Fry the cauliflower rice | Add the cauliflower rice, soy sauce, and rice vinegar to the skillet. Toss to combine, then let the cauliflower sit without stirring until beginning to brown, about 2 to 3 minutes. Toss with the sliced chicken and scrambled eggs. |
