Ingredients

1 cup Carb Quick
1 tsp Pink Salt
1 tsp Garlic Powder
1 pound Chicken Breast boneless, skinless
1 tsp Black Pepper
1 tsp Paprika optional
1/2 cup Avocado Oil
1 tbsp Minced Garlic
1/4 tsp Xanthan Gum
4 cups Cauliflower Rice
1 cube Chicken Bullion

Instructions

Part 1: The Chicken

Add the avocado oil to a large heavy pan and heat on medium heat.
While the oil is heating , cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
In a a zip top bag or large bowl, mix together the CarbQuick, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
Add the chicken to the dry mixture, and shake or stir until coated evenly.
Remove the coated chicken pieces from the mixture and place on a plate os wire rack. Let sit for a few minutes until the oil is heated and ready for frying.
Fry the chicken in batches in the hot oil until golden brown. Remove from oil and place on a wire rack or paper towels to drain.

Part 2: The Gravy

When all the chicken is cooked, strain about 1/4 cup of the frying oil. Discard the rest of the oil, and then add the strained oil back to the pan over medium heat
Once the oil is heated, add the minced garlic and about a 1/2 teaspoon of onion powder. Sauté for one minute, and then add about a tablespoon of the seasoned CarbQuick flour. Cook for about 30 seconds until the flour begins to brown
Dissolve bullion cube in 1 cup of hot water, add it to the pan and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and reduce by about half.
Once the liquid is reduced, slowly add 1/4 to 1/2 tsp of xanthan gum a little bit at a time, whisking constantly until the desired thickness is achieved. After each portion of xanthan gum is added, whisk for at least a minute or two before adding more – Xanthan gum thickens more slowly than traditional thickeners.

Part 3: The Cauliflower Rice

In a large pan, sauté the Cauliflower rice in a tablespoon of butter. Add salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion to taste.
Portion the cauliflower rice into bowls, top with the fried chicken gravy. Serve immediately.
