Chicken and "Rice"

This is something that popped in my head the other day and I thought to myself, "Hey, I haven't had chicken and rice in forever". It was something I ate a lot of growing up but it doesn't exactly fit into my new lifestyle with the rice and canned cream of mushroom soup. I came up with this recipe and it surprisingly tastes like the real thing!

Ingredients:

• 1 lb chicken
• 1 large head cauliflower
• 1 1/2 cups chicken stock, divided
• 2 tablespoons arrowroot powder
• 1 tablespoon almond flour
• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 teaspoons sage
• 1 teaspoon thyme
• 1 can coconut milk (I used Trader Joe's light)

Directions:

1. In a large skillet, cook your chicken over medium heat until cooked through. Remove from the skillet, shred into bite size pieces, and set aside. Leave the drippings in the pan.
2. While the chicken is cooking, rice the cauliflower in a blender, food processor, or with a grater. Put in a medium sized saucepan with 1 cup chicken stock and cook on medium heat until tender, about 20 minutes.
3. In the skillet with the chicken drippings add the remaining chicken stock, arrowroot powder and almond flour, whisking constantly until it becomes very thick. Then add 1/3 of the canned coconut milk and continue whisking.
4. Add in the salt, pepper, sage and thyme and stir until well combined. Slowly cintinue adding the coconut milk until you have used it all. Let simmer for 5 minutes. If the sauce is too thin, add 1/2 teaspoon arrowroot power. If it is too thick add 1/4 cup chicken stock.
5. Add the shredded chicken to the gravy, mix thoroughly, and let simmer for 10 minutes.
6. Serve with a scoop of cauliflower rice on top.
