Ingredients

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 cups cauliflower rice
  • 1 cup raw cashews
  • 1/4 cup coconut milk
  • 2 tbsp avocado oil
  • 1 tbsp ginger, grated
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp ground coriander
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh cilantro leaves, for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a food processor or blender, pulse cashews until coarsely chopped. Add coconut milk and blend until smooth, forming the creamy cashew sauce. Set aside.
  2. Season chicken with coriander, cumin, salt, and pepper. Heat 1 tbsp of avocado oil in a pan over medium heat. Cook chicken until browned on all sides and cooked through. Remove from pan and let rest for a few minutes, then slice into bite sized pieces.
  3. In the same pan, add remaining avocado oil, ginger, and garlic. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Add cauliflower rice and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes or until tender. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Assemble bowls by dividing the cooked cauliflower rice among four dishes. Top each bowl with sliced chicken and a generous drizzle of creamy cashew sauce. Garnish with fresh cilantro leaves and serve immediately.
