bulk up white rice with tons of cauliflower rice and peppers for a creamy, veggie-packed meal. the chicken finishes cooking right on top of the rice. one-pot magic.
This blew my mind it was so good. Husband ate 3 servings and I was mad because less leftovers for me. We just cut up the chicken and mixed it is which didn’t look good but it tasted great nonetheless. So thankful for all the veggies (also added the spinach) without skimping on chicken and rice comfort food vibes. Hall of fame add it to the rotation
I don’t know what genius recipe development happens in your brain but I basically had a freezer emergency today and needed to use up a strange assortment of poblanos, red onion, a whole bag of cauliflower rice, chicken thighs and roasted corn. I plugged them into this recipe and WOAH, SO GOOD! Can’t wait to remake properly but also very excited for lunch this week!
Ok ok one more question. We have made a bunch of times and always a hit. What if to reduce carbs a bit I reduced the white rice amount? Would I decrease the stock and or cooking time?
This was really good! My husband had 2nds. One caveat....my chicken breasts were only at like 140 after recommended cooking time. Next time I'll pound them down or cut in half. This time I finished them in the air fryer because I worried about overcooking the rice.
I had purchased frozen cauliflower rice when feeling virtuous and there it sat, abandoned in the same freezer spot for over a year. Finally put it to use, didn't think I would like it, ended up LOVING it. Winner-winner, cheesy cajun chicken dinner.
Omg the cheesy rice was PHENOMENAL. Our chicken took a lot longer to cook BUT I'm pretty sure it was because we had some hefty chicken breasts and we live in Denver so it possibly could have been affected by higher altitude with this cooking method? Either way, chicken was still nice and tender and flavorful and this will def go into the rotation!!! Thank you!
This was delicious and my two toddlers loved the chicken. Who knew Cajun spice would be a hit with toddlers!!
If we use chicken thighs instead as written in subs, is that bone in or boneless

Can I use frozen cauliflower rice from a bag? Or should it be the freshly riced refrigerated kind?
Can I use leftover rice and just add it later?

This was delicious. I overcooked the chicken and it was still good ;)
Cauliflower allergy - can I still make this one?!

Help I don’t have cajun seasoning... what else would work here?

Hello! Made this last night and it was delicious. One of my family members asked if a "crunch" factor could be added. Do you have any ideas?

Thought I had more cauli rice but only have 1 cup. Do I add more rice and add more liquid?
