Keto Riz bil Dajaj (Cauliflower Rice)
Keto Chicken with Cauliflower Rice
Yes, with a tweak: confirm that cauliflower rice is used instead of traditional rice. About 11.5g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Jordanian food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A keto-friendly take on the classic rice and chicken dish, featuring roasted or stewed chicken (often dark meat) served over a savory base of spiced cauliflower 'rice' instead of traditional rice.
Key ingredients
Chicken pieces (thighs/legs), cauliflower 'rice', olive oil, onion, garlic, chicken broth, salt, pepper, allspice, turmeric, pine nuts (optional garnish).
How to make it keto
Crucially, confirm that cauliflower rice is used instead of traditional rice. Ensure no high-carb vegetables are added to the 'rice'. Pine nuts should be used sparingly if counting carbs strictly. Ask for a generous amount of olive oil/fat in cooking.
