My favorite super fast “fried rice”
This meal is just perfection in my book. It's a way lower carb, way higher veggie version of fried rice with tons of yummy protein and it's so fast and so yummy.I just get this amazing cauliflower fried rice at Trader Joe's, some extra cauliflower rice, broccoli, chicken an egg and coconut aminos (tastes like soy sauce but with health benefits). The chicken is the "hardest" part....but not if you use leftovers from grilling or baking, or, in a pinch, a rotisserie chicken from sprouts (super clean) does the trick.
