Instructions

1
Combine the chicken, chicken broth, carrot, celery, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper in a large pot. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a steady simmer and cook until the chicken is cooked through and registers 165°F (74°C) on an instant-read thermometer, about 18–20 minutes.

Transfer the chicken to a cutting board and shred it into bite-sized pieces using two forks. Return the pot to medium-low heat and stir in the cauliflower rice. Simmer until the cauliflower rice is just tender, about 3–4 minutes.
