This recipe provides 4 servings
Ingredients:
1) 1
head cauliflower (approximately 1 ½ pounds)
2) 2
tablespoons reduced- sodium soy sauce
3) 1
tablespoon olive oil
4) 1
teaspoon sea salt
5) 2
tablespoon mirin
6) 1
½ tablespoon honey
7) 1
teaspoon grated fresh ginger
8) 4
boneless, skinless chicken thighs (approximately 4 ounces each), trimmed of
fat.
9) Cooking
spray
10) 2
scallions, chopped, for garnish
11) 1
teaspoon sesame seeds, for garnish
Instructions:
1) Cut
out and discard the core of the cauliflower, then break the cauliflower into
florets. Pulse the florets in a food processor until you have rice-size pieces.
(Another option, grate the florets on the large holes of a box grater.)
2) Heat
the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the cauliflower and
sea salt. Cook, stirring, until the “rice” is crisp-tender, approximately 6
minutes. Remove the pan from the heat.
3) In
a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, honey, ginger and mirin.
4) Heat
a nonstick 10-inch skillet over medium high heat and coat with cooking spray.
Add the chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, 4 minutes per side.
Reduce the heat to low and pour the sauce over the chicken. Cook until the
sauce thickens slightly, turning the chicken halfway, about another minute.
Remove the pan from the heat to prevent the sauce from drying out.
5) To
serve, place 1 cup cauliflower “rice” in each of 4 serving bowls. Slice each
chicken thigh on an angle and place over the cauliflower rice. Top each with
sauce from the pan and sprinkle with the scallions and sesame seeds.
