For the cauliflower rice

1 medium head cauliflower (about 2 lb), cut into florets
1 tbsp coconut oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
¼ tsp fine sea salt
Chef's tip
Season to taste - salt substitutes can taste bitter in larger amounts, so start with less.

For serving

2 tbsp fresh cilantro, roughly chopped (optional)
2 tbsp fresh basil, torn (optional)

Instructions

1
Pulse the cauliflower florets in a food processor in two batches until broken down into rice-sized pieces, about 8–10 pulses per batch. Alternatively, grate the florets on the large holes of a box grater. Spread on a clean kitchen towel and press firmly to remove excess moisture.
2
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels and season both sides with ½ tsp salt. Heat 1 tbsp coconut oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the chicken thighs smooth-side down and sear undisturbed for 5–6 minutes, until the underside is deep golden and releases easily from the pan.
