Ingredients

Scale

Cauliflower Rice

  • 1 small head cauliflower, riced (about 4 cups)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Chicken

  • 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded or diced
  • 2 tbsp fresh lime juice
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1/4 tsp chili flakes (optional)

Toppings and Garnish

  • 1 ripe avocado, sliced
  • Fresh cilantro, chopped, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to prepare for roasting the cauliflower rice.
  2. Prepare Cauliflower Rice: Toss the riced cauliflower with olive oil, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until evenly coated. Spread the mixture on a baking sheet in a single layer for even roasting.
  3. Roast Cauliflower Rice: Roast the cauliflower rice in the oven for 15-20 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure it becomes lightly golden and cooked through without burning.
  4. Make Honey Lime Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together fresh lime juice, honey, and chili flakes (if using) to create a tangy and sweet dressing.
  5. Marinate Chicken: Drizzle the honey lime dressing over the shredded or diced cooked chicken, tossing well to coat all pieces evenly and infuse flavor.
  6. Assemble Stacks: Begin layering your dish by placing a base of roasted cauliflower rice on each plate. Add a generous portion of the honey lime chicken on top, then arrange avocado slices over the chicken.
  7. Garnish and Serve: Finish by garnishing with fresh chopped cilantro and a light drizzle of any remaining honey lime dressing. Serve immediately while warm for best flavor.

Notes

  • Cauliflower rice can be prepared ahead and stored in the fridge; reheat before assembling.
  • Use fresh lime juice for the most vibrant citrus flavor.
  • Adjust honey quantity based on your preference for sweetness.
  • Add chili flakes gradually if you prefer less heat.
  • Chicken can be grilled or baked before shredding for different textures.
  • This meal is naturally gluten-free and low-carb.
