Equipment
- Skillet
- Silicone Tongs
- Sauté pan
Ingredients
Lemongrass Basil Chicken
- 2 chicken breasts cubed into bite-size pieces
- 1 package Kevin's Natural Foods Lemongrass Basil Sauce*
- 1 tbsp olive oil
Turmeric Cauliflower Rice
- 1 package Green Giant Riced Veggies Cauliflower** roughly 2 1/4 cups riced cauliflower
- 1/2 tsp turmeric powder
- 1/2 tsp ground ginger
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
Instructions
- Place a skillet over medium heat and add sesame oil.
- When the oil is nice and hot, add riced cauliflower and break up any chunks. Mix cauliflower so it is evenly coated with the oil.
- Cook the cauliflower rice until it is nice and tender, stirring frequently to keep it from browning.
- Mix in turmeric powder, ground ginger, and salt and pepper. Stir until evenly blended then set aside.
- Warm a separate sauté pan over medium-high heat and add olive oil. Swirl pan to coat the surface.
- When the oil is hot, add chicken and spread out evenly.
- Cook chicken for about 3 minutes on each side.
- Continue cooking chicken, using tongs to flip occasionally, until chicken is browned and cooked completely—about 10 minutes total.
- Add in Kevin's Natural Foods sauce and stir to coat evenly. Let it simmer a few minutes to incorporate all the flavors and to allow the sauce to reduce and thicken.
- Serve chicken over cauliflower rice and top with some chopped parsley for garnish. Enjoy!
