KETO SESAME GINGER CHICKEN BOWL

KETO SESAME GINGER CHICKEN BOWL. When I make a dish like this one, it makes me want to do meal prep more. No one like eating the same boring soggy vegetables over and over again. To do it up right, these sesame ginger chicken meal prep bowls show you how!

For this recipe, I used Primal Kitchen Sesame Ginger dressing/marinade(because it’s amazing) but you can make your own marinade at home too.

TO MAKE YOUR OWN MARINADE:

Combine ¼ cup Sesame Oil
2 Tbls grated ginger
1 Tbls grated garlic,
Juice of ½ an orange
2 Tbls Coconut Aminos in a bowl

We live in an apartment so my favorite way to cook meat is in my cast iron skillet but you can grill the chicken. Because it retains heat so well, it still gives you that caramelized flavor. You can cook the cauliflower rice in the same pan when you take out the chicken to use up all those delicious flavors. By using brown or white rice, you can also switch it up.
