Ingredients

For the Spicy Chicken:

1 lb chicken breast cut into bite-sized pieces
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp chili powder
½ tsp cumin
½ tsp smoked paprika
¼ tsp garlic powder
¼ tsp onion powder
Salt and pepper to taste

For the Cauliflower Rice:

1 large head cauliflower riced (about 4 cups/400g)
2 tbsp olive oil
½ cup fresh cilantro chopped
1 lime juice of
Salt to taste

Toppings:

1 avocado sliced
½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
¼ cup sour cream
¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
Lime wedges for serving

Instructions

Begin by preparing the spicy chicken. In a mixing bowl, combine chicken pieces with olive oil, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well to coat the chicken evenly.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and golden on the outside. Remove from heat and set aside.
For the cauliflower rice, heat olive oil in a separate skillet over medium heat. Add the riced cauliflower and sauté for about 5-7 minutes, or until it begins to soften.
Stir in the chopped cilantro and lime juice into the cauliflower rice and season with salt. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, then remove from heat.
To assemble the bowls, divide the cauliflower rice among four bowls. Top each with an equal amount of spicy chicken.
Add sliced avocado, shredded cheddar cheese, and a dollop of sour cream to each bowl.
Garnish with additional chopped cilantro and serve with a lime wedge on the side.

Notes

For a spicier kick, you can add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the chicken seasoning.

Feel free to customize your toppings with other keto-friendly options like diced tomatoes, jalapeños, or a sprinkle of pumpkin seeds.

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or on the stovetop before serving.
