Instructions

Rice Cauliflower: If using a whole cauliflower head, remove leaves and stems. Rice the cauliflower using a food processor with a grating attachment or a box grater.
Cook Chicken: Heat 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chicken, season with salt and pepper, and sauté until cooked through. Remove chicken and set aside.
Sauté Vegetables: Add remaining butter to the skillet. Sauté onion, garlic, and carrots (if using) until softened. Add peas and cook for 1 minute.
Scramble Eggs: Whisk eggs in a bowl. Push vegetables to the side of the skillet and add eggs to the center. Cook until barely scrambled.
Stir-fry Cauliflower Rice: Add cauliflower rice and cooked chicken to the skillet. Sauté for 5 minutes, or until cauliflower is tender.
Finish and Serve: Remove from heat. Stir in coconut aminos, sesame oil, and green onions. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.

Notes

You can use store-bought riced cauliflower for convenience.
If you don’t have coconut aminos, you can substitute with low-sodium soy sauce or tamari.
For a vegetarian version, omit the chicken and use vegetable broth instead of coconut aminos.
