Ingredients

  • 1.5 lbs Chicken thighs
  • 1 can Coconut milk
  • 4 cups Cauliflower rice
  • 1 medium Onion
  • 3 cloves Garlic
  • 1 inch Ginger
  • 1 tsp Turmeric powder
  • 1/2 tsp Chili powder
  • 1 tbsp Fish sauce
  • 1 tbsp Lime juice
  • 2 tbsp Coconut oil
  • 1/4 cup Cilantro

Instructions

  1. 1Place a 12-inch skillet or large pot over medium-high heat. Add the 2 tablespoons of coconut oil and heat until it shimmers, about 1 minute.
  2. 2Add the 1 medium onion, 3 cloves of garlic, and 1 inch of ginger to the hot oil. Cook, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are softened and fragrant, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. 3Stir in the 1 teaspoon of turmeric powder and 1/2 teaspoon of chili powder. Cook for 1 minute more, stirring constantly, until the spices are fragrant.
