Cauliflower rice has been all the hype these days and today we learn to make our own cauliflower rice from scratch!

Season chicken thigh pieces with cajun seasoning
First, let’s get cracking on the chicken first. Season the chicken thigh pieces with Cajun seasoning.
Heat up the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add in the seasoned Cajun chicken pieces onto the skillet and cook for five minutes or until the chicken is cooked through. A tip here is to constantly flip the chicken to ensure that it does not get burnt.

Brown the chicken pieces
Cook the chicken thigh for five minutes, flip and continue to cook for another three minutes, until it is slightly charred. Remove from skillet and set the browned cooked chicken pieces aside until it is ready to be served with the cauliflower rice.
Making cauliflower rice is not as difficult as it looks! Follow these steps to make delicious and nutritious grains that are low in calorie and high in fibre.

Cauliflower blitzed into rice sized pieces
