Cauliflower Rice
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic, and sauté until fragrant (about 30 seconds). Add riced cauliflower and toss to combine.
Add chicken broth and soy sauce. Continue to cook, stirring regularly, for about 5 minutes or until tender.
Stir in rice vinegar and remove from heat. Season to taste.
Sesame Broccoli

Add broccoli and toss to combine. Sauté for about 4 minutes, until bright green.
Add chicken broth and soy sauce. Cover pan and allow to steam for 3-5 minutes, or until broccoli is fork tender. Top with about half of the toasted sesame seeds.
Keto Orange Chicken

Reduce heat to medium low. Add the orange sauce and toss to coat. Cook for 3-5 minutes, until sauce has thickened and chicken is cooked through.
Keto Orange Chicken Bowls
Divide cauliflower rice into four portions, top with chicken and broccoli, then garnish with green onion and remaining sesame seeds!
Alternatively, you can toss the chicken, broccoli, and cauliflower rice together before serving and adding garnish.
- Storage: You can store the parts of this dish separately, or prep the bowls before storage. Either way, refrigerate in a sealed container for up to 4 days.
- You can replace the ground chicken in this recipe with diced chicken or another protein of your choice, adjusting cooking time as needed.
- Please use fresh orange juice and zest! You'll avoid the added sugar from the bottled stuff, and get way more flavor per carb.
