Keto Cheesy Chicken and Rice

19 ratings

In need of a fast side to dinner? This cheesy chicken rice skillet can be prepared in less than 10 minutes! Just a little chicken and some protein and bulks up this side for a more filling meal. Of course, a healthy sprinkle of gooey cheese it what makes this side really appetizing!

    I really enjoyed this mixed with Keto Buttery Broccoli with Bacon. I made a cheesy rice broccoli bowl. Even my husband, who normally doesn’t care for cauliflower, scarfed it down.

          I love this as a main meal since I'm doing Bariatric Keto!

            I increased the chicken to 4oz. and served as a main dish. Great quick meal!

                This is so good. I used it as a main dish rather than a side. My two year old nephew loved it. Even though he kept saying he didn’t and yuck while shoveling as much as he could into his mouth.

                  What is cauliflower rice?

                    It is just cauliflower but chopped up into tiny bits. You can do it yourself or find bags of it already chopped / "riced" for you at the grocery store. At Walmart i found both non-frozen and frozen variety. :)

                  is the cauliflower rice pre cooked before putting it in a skillet to brown it?

                    Hi! I just tried this last night and it is AMAZING! The cauli-rice I used was Not pre-cooked before I put it in the skillet. I just put a lid on the pan and turned on medium high heat and stirred every few minutes until I was happy with the amount of browning. :) hope it works out for you!
