Paleo & Keto-Friendly Thai basil chicken on a bed of cauliflower rice, does it get any better?! This dish is full of flavor and nutrients that won't disappoint! This recipe was created by our friend, Tory over at Nourishing The Glow.
Servings: 4
Prep Time: 3 minutes
Cooking Time: 7 minutes
Total Time: 10 minutes
INGREDIENTS:
- 1 lb ground chicken
- 4 tablespoons avocado oil
- salt and pepper
- 3 shallots, diced
- 5 cloves garlic, minced
- 6 Thai Chilis, deseeded, thinly sliced, and diced (they are pretty small and hot, adjust to taste)
- 3 tsp date paste
- 2 tablespoons coconut aminos
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce
- 1/2 cup Bonafide Provisions chicken bone broth
- 1 bunch of Thai basil leaves, chopped (you can substitute Thai basil with regular basil)
- 16oz. cauliflower rice
DIRECTIONS:
- In a wok or a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the chilies, shallots, and garlic, and saute for 1-2 minutes. Add the ground chicken, breaking it up with the back of a wooden spoon. Cook for 2-3 minutes. Add the date paste, coconut aminos, and fish sauce and cook for 1 minute before adding the chicken bone broth (you want to deglaze the pan with the broth). Add the basil and cook until wilted, about 1 minute.
- While you are cooking the chicken, heat your cauliflower rice in a separate skillet over medium heat until cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
- Serve over cauliflower rice!
