  • 50gCooked basmati rice
  • 100gCauliflower riceMixing real rice with cauliflower rice tricks your brain into a full plate for a fraction of the calories

👨‍🍳Method

1

Prep the Veggies

6 min

Bring a small pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the sliced carrots and boil for 2 minutes, then add the broccoli florets. Boil for another 3-4 minutes until both are fork-tender but still vibrant and slightly crisp. Drain and set aside.

💡Don't overcook the veggies — they should still have a vibrant color and slight snap.
2

Prep the Base

5 min

Steam or microwave your cauliflower rice until tender. Toss it together in a small bowl with your 50g of cooked basmati rice. Press the mixture firmly into a small cup or ramekin (this will help you create that perfect, restaurant-style rice dome). Keep it warm.

💡Pack the rice blend tightly into the ramekin and let it sit for 30 seconds before flipping — the dome will hold its shape perfectly.
3

Sear the Chicken

10 min

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Coat it lightly with zero-calorie cooking spray. Season your flattened chicken breast generously on both sides with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Sear the chicken for 4-5 minutes per side until it develops a beautiful golden crust and is completely cooked through.

💡Don't move the chicken once it hits the pan — let it sear undisturbed for the best crust formation.

Plate and Serve

1 min

Overturn your cup of the 50/50 rice blend onto a serving plate to create a perfect dome. Lay your golden chicken steak right next to it. Arrange the steamed broccoli and carrots neatly on the side. Serve immediately for the ultimate clean, high-protein meal!

💡A sprinkle of fresh parsley and black sesame seeds on the rice dome takes the presentation from good to restaurant-level!
