ingredients

  • 1/4 cup olive oil, divided
  • 1 large onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 1/2 pounds chicken breasts or thighs, cut into 1 inch cubes
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon coriander
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

  • 1/2 lemon, juiced
  • 2 12 ounce bags Cascadian Farm Cauliflower Rice
  • 2-3 garlic cloves, minced
  • Toppings: toasted almonds, chopped parsley, lemon

Method

  • Step 1

    In a large pan, heat 2 tbs of oil on medium high heat. Add onions and a pinch of salt, and cook for 3-4 minutes until they start to brown.

  • Step 2

    Add chicken and spices. Stir occasionally until browned and cooked through, about 10 minutes.

  • Step 3

    Add chickpeas, give the mixture a good stir and turn off heat. Add lemon juice.

  • Step 4

    While chicken is cooking, begin cooking cauliflower rice. In a separate large pan, heat 2 tbs olive oil on medium high heat, then add the cauliflower rice, salt, and minced garlic. Stir occasionally, allowing cauliflower rice to caramelize, about 10 minutes.
