Szechuan Chicken Cauliflower Rice Bowls
When I heated one of my Szechuan Chicken Cauliflower Rice Bowls at school the other day, lots of other teachers were like “Oh my gosh WHAT is that delicious smell?!”
Seriously, guys…this is one of the most flavorful healthy recipes I’ve experienced!
Very easy as well, also great for meal prepping.
And I swear it was almost better the next day!
How to make Szechuan Chicken Cauliflower Rice Bowls
The first step is setting a large skillet over medium heat and add a diced red pepper and onion.
Let this cook for about 5 minutes.
Then add in some garlic and a pound of ground chicken.
I went with chicken because it’s lean and low in calories.
Ground turkey would work too, or even some ground pork.
After the chicken cooks through, about 4 to 5 minutes, add in some Szechuan sauce.
Yes, I could have made my own but I used the store bought because it’s easy and just as good.
After about 2 minutes it’s ready to go đŸ™‚
When the chicken was cooking I microwaved two bags of cauliflower rice and divided them equally between two bowls and two meal prep containers.
That way my husband and I both had a yummy dinner, plus a yummy lunch for the next day at work.
I topped mine with my Sweet Pickled Red Onions, I made a big batch every few weeks and top tacos, nachos, burgers, and rice bowls.
Highly recommended!
Also mixed together more of the Szechuan sauce with mayo (you could use light mayo or nonfat plain Greek yogurt too) to drizzle over top.
These Szechuan Chicken Cauliflower Rice Bowls look pretty incredible if I do say so myself…but they taste even better đŸ™‚
Mix it all up and dig in!
YUM!
This is the meal prepped version.
I put the sauce on the side and once I heated it up, mixed the sauce right in.
