When you need to cook something fast and simple, chicken and rice are it. When you need something fast and simple and you’re doing keto or paleo then something as simple as chicken and rice can get complicated. Not today! I used ready-to-go ingredients from Target, to make this Keto Chicken and Rice Skillet. It’s delicious and the perfect go to meal for my hotel kitchenette situation.
It Doesn’t Get Any Easier or Tasty!
This low-carb paleo Chicken and Rice is totally Whole30 compliant and comes together in less than 15 minutes. We use a handful of ready-to-go ingredients that you can grab at your local Target (or most grocers). This recipe can easily be made AIP if you get an AIP-compliant pre-cooked chicken and omit the black pepper. It’s literally open, combine, heat, and serve! I know a first for this blog. But I’m living in a hotel at the moment, so easy button meals are necessary. Serve with some nori sheets for an Emily Mariko experience!
Keto Chicken and Rice Ingredients
I picked up everything at my local Target, but you can find these at most grocers. Start with the base of the meal:
- Pre-cooked chicken breast, I use the Good & Gather Grilled Chicken Breast.
- Cauliflower Rice with veggies, I used the Green Giant Riced Veggies Cauliflower Rissoto with asparagus and mushrooms.
- Seasonings: garlic powder, salt, black pepper and coconut aminos. These are the holy trinity of flavor for Whole30, paleo or keto cooking!
- The nori is optional, but a nutrient dense addition. I always buy the SeaSnax olive oil kind, or GimMe avocado oil ones, If you can find the SeaSnax Lime flavor – get it!
