Keto Creamy Cajun Chicken [with Cauliflower Rice]

This creamy Cajun chicken dish is rich and full of flavor. Served over low-carb cauliflower rice it’s simple to make and is great for busy weeknight dinners when you need to whip up something quick.

All you need to make this scrumptious dish is some chicken thighs, cauliflower to turn into rice, tin tomatoes, an onion, and a bunch of common herbs and spices. If you’re missing any of these herbs and spices, you can always add something else or leave it out entirely. The same goes for chicken thighs—breasts can be used instead.

Making this dish involves a few simple steps. You start by making the cauliflower rice in a blender (unless you have ready-made cauliflower rice). Once the rice is sorted, cook up the chicken in a skillet before adding the cream to make a thick and smooth sauce. If you don’t have any dairy cream or if you’re dairy-free, you can always use coconut cream instead. Once the chicken mixture is cooked, serve it with the rice in a bowl. Don’t forget to sprinkle some fresh herbs on top!

This dish will give you lots of important nutrients and is sure to satisfy even the most demanding appetite. It’s also a great dish to reheat the next day for lunch. If you’re looking for a tasty and healthy chicken recipe with a little bit of spice, give this one a go.

Mmmm…okay, now you’ve got me pulling out more chicken from the freezer!
BTW, I always forget to come back and say anything, but the last chicken and rice recipe (the golden one) was delicious! Thanks!

You had me at sautéed onions! Looks like it'd be good even without the cream. I can't go with high fats because it really messed up my cholesterol levels; it's a bad family problem, unfortunately. I can't do full keto now but I certainly can enjoy these recipes modified. (Low carb)

I want to vent. I've been slacking and completely disgraceful and not disciplined with nutrition. Today starts my new life. Im a pescertarian and going to follow interment fasting/paleo-keto meditarrainin type diet. Its mostly a way of life. When I eat healthy and properly its a natural high and I feel better more confident and look better. Nutrition is very important and ill still have my cheatmeals but far and not often.
