Ingredients

Cauliflower

  • 1 large cauliflower
  • ½ cup dry lentils
  • 1 cup chickpeas cooked
  • 1 large white onion diced
  • 2 tbsp. avocado oil
  • 1-2 tsp. cumin
  • 1 tsp. Salt

Chicken

  • 1.5 pounds chicken breast
  • 8 wooden skewers
  • ½ teaspoon salt or to taste
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika or to taste
  • ½ teaspoon curry or to taste
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder or to taste
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder or to taste

Instructions

  • Cut cauliflower into chunks and process in a food processor until it's broken into rice-size pieces. Set aside.
  • In a saucepan bring about 2 cups water to a boil. Add the lentils and cook until tender, about 20 to 30 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  • Heat the avocado oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Cook the onion in the oil for about 5 to 6 minutes until it starts to become translucent. Add the cauliflower rice, and cook, stirring frequently, for 8 minutes. Stir in the chickpeas and cooked lentils and cook until everything is incorporated and heated through, about 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Cut chicken breast into cubes and transfer to a bowl. Add the herbs and spices and stir together until it's evenly distributed. Load the seasoned chicken cubes onto wooden skewers. Cook 4 to 5 minutes per side in a nonstick grill pan over medium-high heat.
  • Distribute the fried cauliflower rice evenly among meal prep containers, along with 2 chicken shish kabobs each in the container, right over the rice. Refrigerate in the airtight contains until it's time to eat. Reheat everything in a hot skillet (or just reheat the rice; the chicken is great cold, we think!).
