This Chicken Mushroom and Cauliflower Rice Recipe is a one skillet dish that is loaded with juicy chicken breast, some of my favorite veggies and flavor!
I love to use frozen cauliflower rice for even more ease in keto cooking. I use it in this recipe and also in my loaded cauliflower rice casserole recipe and garlic butter shrimp with cauliflower rice.
Keto Cauliflower Rice Recipe
When I find a recipe that uses rice, almost always it is an easy swap for cauliflower rice to make it keto. You can use frozen, or you can make your own using a whole head of cauliflower. This simple swap saves so many carbs.
Can I use chicken thighs instead of breasts?
Yep! Boneless skinless chicken thighs would be great in this recipe because they are juicy and fattier. They would increase the calories and fat a bit, but there is nothing wrong with that...especially since this recipe is on the lighter side!
Meal prep this recipe
This recipe is so simple to meal prep! I like to divide it evenly into 4 meal prep containers and then I have lunch or dinner for 4 days. You could even freeze this recipe for up to a few months in freezer safe containers.
