Honestly, It took me a while to make peace with Cauliflower Rice. I love Cauliflower a lot and usually end up making some kind of Curry.
It is low carb and keto friendly. It is loaded with protein and thanks to the garlic chicken added to rice. Is a one-pot meal that would give you the required amount carbs and protein in a single serving.
Before I tell you how delicious this recipe is, let me confess. Yes!! Confession of a true rice lover. A bowl of hot steaming rice is my soul food. I can not even think of a single day without having rice. At least one of my meals in a day has rice in it. So when I came across ‘Cauliflower Rice’, I literally frowned. I mean, how can one substitute rice with Cauliflower rice and still be satisfied? I have also tried a lot of healthy recipes with Cauliflower like this Crisp Parmesan Cauliflower fritters. But I simply could not think of substituting rice with Cauliflower Rice. But you know there comes a time when you need to choose health over taste and comfort. When I went on a low-carb diet, Cauliflower Rice is the only best option available. It definitely took some time to get used to Cauliflower rice. But when you have a delicious and easy Cauliflower Rice Recipe like this, it is not that difficult to swap. Riced cauliflower has a very subtle taste and takes a backseat when seasoned with other aromatic spices or herbs.
