Easy meals are my calling.

I’m not one to finish a day of work and then want to make some fancy and elaborate meal for dinner. I don’t like to dirty about numerous pots and pants. And I also always want to use what I have on hand in the fridge, freezer and pantry. And I like to make a large meal so we have left overs.

I sound like a lazy pain in the tush. But believe it or not, this recipe satisfies every single need I listed above.

An easy healthy one-skillet Cauliflower Fried Rice recipe using what I have already in the kitchen and ready in just a few minutes.

This meal is something the whole family can eat. Ezra, Jordan and myself all love it. I’m waiting for the day that Ezra starts to reject certain foods but as long as there was avocado and some chicken on each bite, he was a happy camper.

I love that this meal really uses all things I have on hand already. I like to keep my freezer stocked with frozen meats and veggies and things. And if I didn’t have cauliflower rice, I’d use regular rice or whatever I have handy.

You can really adapt this recipe to work for you and your preferences.

What ingredients I use to make this healthy fried rice:

  • Frozen cauliflower rice – or you can use regular rice
  • Chicken breasts, tenders or thighs – you can also use beef or pork or anything you have on hand already. My freezer usually has chicken handy.
  • Frozen veggies or fresh – I used onions, carrots and avocado here. You can also add in broccoli, peas, anything!
  • Coconut aminos – I use this as the “soy” sauce
  • Sesame oil – you can also use avocado or olive oil but I love using sesame oil here!
  • Eggs – feel free to omit if you prefer but I love adding these in like a traditional fried rice has

I love making this bone-broth fried rice and Easy Whole30 Chinese Chicken and Broccoli when I am craving some asian-flared recipes.

  • 2–3 tablespoons sesame oil
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • Any frozen or fresh veggies on hand: carrots, peas, broccoli – anything. I just use whatever I have
