Instructions

Step 1: Wash and core 1 medium cauliflower, then pulse in a food processor until it resembles rice (about 4 cups). Set aside.
Step 2: Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 lb thinly sliced chicken breast strips, season with 1/2 tsp sea salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Sauté for 5-6 minutes until cooked through and lightly browned. Remove chicken and set aside.
Step 3: In the same skillet, add 2 tbsp sesame oil, 1 tbsp finely grated fresh ginger, and 3 minced garlic cloves. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 4: Add the 4 cups cauliflower rice to the skillet and stir-fry for 5-7 minutes until tender but not mushy. Stir in 3 tbsp coconut aminos and 1/2 tsp sea salt.
Step 5: Return cooked chicken strips to the skillet, toss with cauliflower rice to combine, and cook for 2 more minutes to heat through.
Step 6: Garnish with 2 sliced green onions and serve immediately for a fast Whole30 meal.
