Keto Mexican Chicken Rice

Ingredients:

• 2 chicken breasts (cubed)

• 2 tbsp olive oil

• 1 medium onion, diced

• 1 bell pepper, diced (red or green)

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• 1 tbsp chili powder

• 1 tsp cumin powder

• 1/2 tsp smoked paprika

• 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (optional for spice)

• Salt and pepper, to taste

• 1 1/2 cups riced cauliflower

• 1/2 cup shredded Mexican cheese blend

• 1/4 cup salsa (sugar-free if possible)

• 1/4 cup chicken broth

• Fresh cilantro (for garnish)

• Sliced avocado and sour cream (for topping, optional)

Instructions:

1. Cook the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add cubed chicken and season with salt and pepper. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

2. Sauté Veggies: In the same skillet, add more olive oil if necessary, and sauté the onions and bell peppers until softened (about 3-4 minutes). Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.

3. Add Spices and Cauliflower Rice: Stir in chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, and cayenne. Add the riced cauliflower and cook for another 3-5 minutes until the cauliflower is tender.

4. Combine Ingredients: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Add the salsa and chicken broth, stirring everything together. Let cook for 2-3 minutes until the mixture is well combined and slightly saucy.

5. Finish with Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded Mexican cheese on top, cover, and let it melt for 1-2 minutes.

6. Garnish and Serve: Top with fresh cilantro, avocado slices, and a dollop of sour cream if desired. Serve warm!
