Keto Italian Chicken Risotto
Risotto is a deliciously creamy and cheesy side dish. This keto version is made with cauliflower rice, but you’d never taste the difference. This side is still tender, buttery, and bound together with rich, parmesan cheese. Shredded chicken was added to this risotto, in case you typically find yourself still hungry after a meal with a small side.

Yes, canned chicken is perfect here.

I don't think it's that important which type of chicken it is. In fact, I believe you could chuck just about anything in there and it would still taste decent.

I added fresh garlic, mushrooms , 1 tablespoon of cream and substituted the chicken for pork ( only because I had leftovers). I thought I hated Cauliflower unless it was with a cheese sauce. How wrong I was because the recipe was amazing!
