5 Ingredient Curry Chicken Over Coconut Cauliflower Rice

This 5 ingredient curry chicken over coconut cauliflower rice recipe dish makes for a delicious and healthy dinner with bold international flavors.

The best curry chicken and cauliflower rice recipe this image

The curry chicken is complemented by the creamy coconut milk infused cauliflower “rice”, and you’ll be pleasantly surprised by how filling yet calorie light this dish is!

Last year we went to a restaurant where one of the menu items was served over coconut rice. Ever since then, I’ve kind of been obsessed with coconut rice. I found actual coconut rice at Target (which I used in this 5 ingredient Hawaiian chicken rice bowls recipe) but wanted to see if I could make coconut cauliflower ‘rice’ out of cauliflower. It worked out SO well, I just had to share this recipe for this week’s Five Ingredient Friday!!!

How to make the most amazing curry chicken and cauliflower riceCauliflower “rice” is a really nice healthy alternative to actual rice. For the cauliflower “rice” there are two methods I have used to make it. The first is to cut the head of cauliflower into florets (remove the stem) and put the florets into a food processor (working in batches if necessary) and pulsate until it resembles rice-size pieces. The second method is to cut the head of cauliflower (remove the stem) with a sharp knife and cut it into tiny pieces, resembling rice. Also, I have found pre “riced” cauliflower at the grocery store (Trader Joes and Whole Foods both have premade cauliflower “rice”). To be honest, my favorite is when I find pre “riced” cauliflower, or the food processor method. But whatever works for you is what I say to go with!

The most delicious curry chicken and cauliflower riceAs with my one pot Thai shrimp and quinoa dish and this shrimp cauliflower fried rice dish, this 5 ingredient curry chicken over coconut cauliflower rice is really good for meal prepping and making ahead for healthy meals!

Is this 5 ingredient curry chicken over coconut cauliflower rice good for meal prepping?

  • Yes! Prepare this recipe at the beginning of the week and divide into separate containers so they are ready to go!

Prep Time: 10 minutes minutes
Cook Time: 25 minutes minutes
Total Time: 35 minutes minutes
Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 pounds chicken breast 4 chicken breasts
  • 2 teaspoons curry powder divided
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil divided
  • 1 teaspoon salt divided
  • 1 cup lite coconut milk
  • 1 head of cauliflower riced (makes about 4 cups “rice” )

Instructions

  • Set the chicken on a cutting board or a plate and sprinkle about ½ teaspoon of curry powder onto each side of a chicken breast. Pat the curry powder into the chicken, flip it, and repeat so that all sides of the chicken are coated.
  • In a large skillet, heat 1 ½ tablespoons of the olive oil over high heat for 1 minute, then add in the chicken and sprinkle with ½ teaspoon of the salt.
  • Cook the chicken for 15 minutes, or until the chicken breast is cooked through, flipping occasionally.
  • While the chicken is cooking, make the coconut cauliflower rice. In a large pot over high heat combine remaining ½ tablespoon olive oil with 1 cup coconut milk and bring it to a boil, about 3 minutes, then add in the cauliflower “rice” and remaining ½ teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring occasionally for 5 minutes, then remove from heat until you are ready to serve.
  • To serve divide the coconut cauliflower “rice” onto 4 plates and top with a curry chicken breast and enjoy.

    Can you recommend a brand of coconut milk? And where to find it at grocery store? Thanks. It’s not something I usually cook with but I like rices cauliflower.

      I would recommend Thai Kitchen brand of coconut milk, I love that it is organic. Most grocery stores have an international section, you’d be looking for it in the Asian section. Or you could always order it off of Amazon (http://amzn.to/2lfjNdK) Thank you for your question 🙂

Here are my November 5 star books: Mrs Nash’s A Here are my November 5 star books:
Mrs Nash’s Ashes by @sarahadlerwrites  I did not want this lovely book to end! The characters had such great chemistry and it was overall such a good romance.”A starry-eyed romantic, a cynical writer, and (the ashes of) an elderly woman take the road trip of a lifetime that just might upend everything they believe about true love.”
Will They Or Won’t They by @avawilderwrites Such a cute story and I loved the ending, was not expecting it to end the way it did with the little twist. “Onscreen, they’re in love. Offscreen, they can’t stand each other. From the author of How to Fake It in Hollywood comes “a sexy lovers-to-enemies-to-lovers romance that smolders then bursts into flames”
Flying Solo @lindaholmes97  @justjuliawhelan narrates - she’s my fave narrator. This was such a fun audiobook, there were parts that had me loling and it was a unique love story, I thoroughly enjoyed it. “A woman returns to her small Maine hometown, uncovering family secrets that take her on a journey of self-discovery and new love, in this warm and charming novel from the NYT bestselling author of Evvie Drake Starts Over.”
The Lost Bookshop @evie.gaughan This was such a lovely cozy read with a touch of whimsey, I really loved the story. “The Keeper of Stories meets The Lost Apothecary in this evocative and charming novel full of mystery and secrets. ‘The thing about books,’ she said ‘is that they help you to imagine a life bigger and better than you could ever dream of.’ On a quiet street in Dublin, a lost bookshop is waiting to be found…”
