Instructions

  • Pat dry the chicken using a paper towel.

  • Once hot, add the chicken and cook over a medium-high heat until browned from all sides.
  • Pour in the chicken stock or water and bring to a boil.
  • Cover with a lid, lower the heat and cook for 25-30 minutes.
  • Once cooked, use tongs to remove the chicken and keep aside in a bowl.
  • Shred the meat off the bone if you like.
  • Meanwhile, peel and finely dice the onion.
  • Halve, deseed and slice the red pepper.
  • Place the onion to a pan greased with the remaining ghee and cook until lightly browned and fragrant.
  • Add the red pepper slices and cook for another 5 minutes.
  • Place the onion and pepper into the pot with the chicken stock and add paprika.
  • Take off the heat.
  • Using a hand blender, pulse until smooth.
  • Place back on the stove, pour in the heavy whipping cream...
  • ...and sour cream.
  • Place the chicken (with or without bones) back in the pot with the sauce and cook for just about 5 minutes.
  • Once you "rice" the cauliflower, place in a pot and add half of the sauce from the chicken.
  • Cook for 6-8 minutes and enjoy! Alternatively, try with Keto Buns.
