Total Time: 30 Minutes, Servings: 4 Servings

Ingredients :
    Cilantro Lime Cauliflower Rice
  • 4 cups cauliflower (riced)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 lime, zested
  • 1/4 cup cilantro leaves (packed)
    • Veggies
  • 2 bell peppers sliced
  • 1/2 red onion sliced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
    • Chicken
  • 2 large chicken breasts (sliced in half horizontally; roughly 14 oz)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
    • To serve
  • 1/4 cup cheese (shredded)
  • 2 avocados



Instructions :
  • Heat olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat.
  • Add the riced cauliflower, salt, garlic powder and lime zest. Cook 5 or so minutes, until cauliflower rice is slightly softened (you want it to maintain some crunch).
  • Remove from heat, stir in the cilantro, and divide between four meal prep containers.
  • Add another 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the pan. Add bell peppers and onion, and cook for 5 or so minutes, until slightly softened.
  • Remove from heat and divide between meal prep containers.
  • Prepare the chicken: slice horizontally to make 2 thin pieces from each chicken breast. Brush with olive oil and sprinkle with taco seasoning.
  • Add chicken to the pan and cook 4-5 minutes per side. Remove from heat, cover and allow to rest in the pan for 5 minutes.
  • Divide chicken between meal prep containers, along with cheese (1 tablespoons per bowl).
    • Storage
  • Store in sealed container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
    • To Serve
  • Heat in the microwave until steaming hot, and cheese is melted over the chicken.
  • Add sliced avocado fresh, if desired.
    • Notes
  • adding 1/2 an avocado to a meal prep bowl brings net carb count to 9 g with 30 g protein
