Ingredients
– 2-4 skinless chicken breasts, cut into cubes
– 2-4 tbsp olive oil or sesame oil
– 2-4 tbsp low sodium soy sauce or tamari sauce
– 2-4 tbsp honey
– 2-4 large grated garlic cloves or 2 tbsp minced garlic
– 2 tsp grated ginger
– Optional: fresh lemon juice
– Arrowroot powder (for after marinating)
1. Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, mix together the olive oil or sesame oil, soy sauce or tamari, honey, grated garlic, and grated ginger. Add a splash of fresh lemon juice if desired.
2. Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken pieces in the bowl and coat them evenly with the marinade. Optionally, marinate the chicken for 4-6 hours for enhanced flavor.
3. Cook the Chicken: Heat a skillet and coat it with olive oil. Add the marinated chicken and sauté for 3-5 minutes on each side, or until cooked through to your preference. Optionally, sprinkle arrowroot powder on the chicken before cooking to thicken the sauce.

Ingredients
– 1 large head of cauliflower, riced in a food processor (or 1 large 10-12 oz bag of frozen cauliflower rice)
– 2-4 green onions, diced
– 1 cup frozen peas and carrots
– 1/2 medium white or yellow onion, diced
– 1 tbsp olive oil or sesame oil
– Two tbsp low sodium soy sauce
– 2 eggs, scrambled
– Sea salt and pepper to taste
– Optional: sesame seeds for topping
1. Prepare the Cauliflower Rice: If using a fresh head of cauliflower, rice it in a food processor. If using frozen cauliflower rice, thaw it beforehand.
2. Sauté the Onions: In a separate pan or wok, heat the olive oil or sesame oil. Add the diced white or yellow onions and sauté until cooked.
3. Add Veggies: Add the frozen peas and carrots, and the riced cauliflower to the pan. Sauté until the vegetables are tender. If more steaming is needed, add 1 tsp of water.
4. Cook the Eggs: Push the vegetable mixture to the side of the pan. Add the eggs to the cleared side and scramble until cooked.
5. Combine and Season: Mix the scrambled eggs into the vegetable mixture. Add the diced green onions, soy sauce, sea salt, and pepper to taste. Cook until the cauliflower is soft like rice.
6. Optional Topping: Top with sesame seeds before serving for added flavor and texture.
