Recipe

Ingredients

•1 lb boneless chicken thighs, cut into 1-by-2-in pieces
•1 tablespoon Italian seasoning blend
•1 tablespoon garlic powder
•1 teaspoon sea salt
•1 tablespoon avocado oil
•2 tablespoons avocado oil
•2 strips of uncured bacon, cut into small pieces
•½ medium onion, chopped
•2 celery stalks, chopped
•8 cups cauliflower rice
•1 tablespoon fresh rosemary leaves chopped fine
•1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves chopped fine
•1 cup chicken bone broth
•Sea salt as needed

Instructions

1.Preheat your oven to 350F. Rub the chicken thigh pieces with the Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and sea salt.
2.Heat an oven-safe pot over medium-high with a splash of avocado oil. Crisp up the bacon pieces, then toss in the chicken to brown for 3-4 minutes.
3.Throw in the chopped onion, celery, cauliflower rice, fresh rosemary, and thyme. Sauté for 3 minutes until the whole kitchen smells amazing.
4.Pour in the chicken bone broth and bring it to a rolling boil. Pop the lid on, turn the heat to low, and simmer for 12 minutes.
5.Take off the lid for 2-3 minutes to let any leftover liquid evaporate. Re-cover the pot and slide it into the oven to bake for 20 minutes to ensure tenderness. Then, remove the lid and continue baking for another 10-15 minutes, or until the top is golden and slightly crispy.
