Keto Air Fryer Cauliflower Fried Rice with Chicken

Keto air fryer recipes can be very creative! This delicious Keto recipe is a perfect at-home takeout meal you can enjoy whenever you want. Using the air fryer for this recipe is even better than preparing it in the pan. The cauliflower rice will come out perfectly crispy every time which is exactly what you want from fried rice. It takes about 20 minutes to prepare everything but you can save even more time by using the prepared cauliflower rice. The results will be the same. We suggest adding a few drops of lime juice or a drizzle of hot sauce right before serving.

Can I make this without the air fryer?

Yes, you can make this Keto cauliflower fried rice with chicken in a regular pan. In that case, grease a frying pan with some olive oil and cook the rice for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from the pan and cook the meat mixture until fully cooked on the inside and crispy on the outside.

Is this recipe good for meal prep?

This recipe is a great option for meal prep. Simply store it in air-tight containers and refrigerate for up to 4 days.

      I ve changed a couple of spices and seasonings in the cauliflower and added ⅓ tin of chopped tomatoes to the meat at 1/2 cooking time, and find that it tastes great. On my second batch and taste buds are doing overtime already!
