  • Step 1

    Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to a pan over medium high heat. Season the chicken breast with ½ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon garlic powder and ½ teaspoon chili powder and sear in the pan for 1-2 minutes on each side. Set the pan aside.
    Step 1
  • Step 2

    In a small pot or skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Once it melts, add a minced clove of garlic and ¼ cup of onion. Cook for about 1 minute, or until the onion begins to soften.

    Add ½ tablespoon chili powder, ½ teaspoon cumin, ½ teaspoon dried oregano, ¼ teaspoon paprika and stir. Cook for an additional 30 seconds, then add salt-free tomato sauce, ⅓ cup water, 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar and ¼ teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer and cover for about 5 minutes.
    Step 3

    Move the chicken to the side of the pan you seared it in and pour the sauce on top. Next to the chicken, add the cauliflower rice. Place the pan in the oven for about 12-15 minutes.

            This is sooooo delicious! I went a little heavier on the cumin and it was perfect! Instead of the rice in this recipe I made the Keto Spanish Rice recipe I found on here! Didn't even notice the tortillas were missing!

              Do you have to use apple vinegar? Or would regular work?

                Is there a way to recalculate the nutrition without the rice?

                  I think it's referring to riced cauliflower, not actual rice

                                The best is with chipotle Tabasco sauce. Mmm. 😋 I really like this recipe, but I cut the salt from it completely. It’s WAY too salty for me. I add salt to my plate instead and it’s perfect.
