I’m always looking for something to make for dinner that I can have leftovers for myself & my daughter’s lunch and this AIP Paleo Chicken Fried Rice surely fits the bill!

I pack lunch for my daughter every day during the school year & I like to send a hot lunch whenever possible. She gets tired of salads, especially in the winter. AIP Paleo Chicken Fried Rice is one that she really loves & I love that it’s healthy!

I pack her lunch in a thermos like this. It keeps her food warm until lunch. A little trick is to put hot water in the thermos while you are warming up the dish. It keeps it warm for hours!

Ingredients:

• 1 lb organic chicken breasts (or thighs)  (cut into cubes) I personally like thighs  (or leftover cooked chicken just skip step 1)
• 1 head of cauliflower (riced) or 1 bag of frozen cauliflower rice
• 1/4 c. coconut aminos
• 1/2 c. chopped onions
• 1-2 cloves of garlic minced 
• 1/2 c. chopped or grated organic carrots
• A couple of handfuls of spinach or kale (I use frozen)
• 1-2 Tbs. of avocado oil, EVOO, or fat of choice
