Low Carb Chicken Fried Rice (A Family Favorite with Zero Leftovers)

I don't say this about every recipe, but this one is genuinely in my top 5 ever. Every single time I make Low Carb Chicken Fried Rice, the pan is scraped clean. No leftovers. Not even close. My family requests it on repeat, and honestly — I don't blame them.

It's got all the comfort of takeout fried rice without the blood sugar crash that comes with it. Cauliflower rice stands in for the regular stuff, and I promise you won't miss it once everything comes together with coconut aminos, sesame oil, and a little ginger heat.

Why This Works for a Low-Carb Lifestyle

Traditional fried rice is one of those meals that can completely derail your goals — white rice spikes blood sugar fast and leaves you hungry again in an hour. This version swaps in cauliflower rice and loads up on protein from eggs and chicken, so you're actually satisfied afterward.

The coconut aminos give you that salty, slightly sweet soy sauce flavor without the wheat or extra sodium. The swerve sweetener adds just a touch of balance to the sauce. And the sesame oil at the end? That's what makes it taste like the real thing.

Ingredients

For the Eggs

• 3 eggs, beaten

• 1 tbsp butter

For the Chicken

• 2 lbs diced chicken

• 1 tbsp butter

• ½ tsp ginger

• ½ tsp garlic powder

• ¼ tsp red pepper flakes

• Salt and pepper to taste

For the Cauliflower Rice Base

• 1 tbsp butter

• 2 (10oz) bags frozen cauliflower

• 20oz bag frozen stir fry veggies

• 1 chopped green onion

• Salt and pepper to taste

• 2 tsp Swerve sweetener

• ½ tsp garlic powder

• ¼ tsp red pepper flakes

• ½ tsp ginger

• 3 tbsp coconut aminos

• 2 tbsp sesame oil

Directions

Step 1: Cook the eggs. Scramble 3 beaten eggs in 1 tbsp butter over medium heat. Once cooked through, set aside.

Step 2: Cook the chicken. In the same skillet, cook your diced chicken in 1 tbsp butter with ginger, garlic powder, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Cook until done, then set aside with the eggs.

Step 3: Build the cauliflower rice base. Add 1 tbsp butter to the skillet and cook your frozen cauliflower and stir fry veggies, covered, stirring occasionally until softened.

Step 4: Season and marinate. Add Swerve, garlic powder, red pepper flakes, ginger, coconut aminos, and sesame oil to the cauliflower base. Stir well and let everything marinate together for 3–5 minutes. (I always add an extra tablespoon of coconut aminos here because I love it.)

Step 5: Bring it all together. Add the chicken and scrambled eggs back in. Stir and cook just long enough to bring the temperature back up. Serve immediately.

Pro Tips

• Don't skip the marinate step. Those 3–5 minutes with the coconut aminos and sesame oil make a huge difference in flavor depth.

• Lower carb option: Leave out the stir fry veggies and stick with just the cauliflower. Still delicious, fewer carbs.

• Meal prep friendly: This reheats well the next day in a skillet on medium heat. (If there's any left, that is.)

• Extra coconut aminos: I'm not joking — add a little more than the recipe calls for. It's that good.

I've been using WILLPOWDER ketones for over a decade, and they're one of the reasons I can stay consistent with this lifestyle without white-knuckling it. They support your body's ability to use fat for fuel, help curb cravings between meals, and give you a clean energy lift without the jitters.

It's a low-commitment way to experience what ketones actually feel like before committing to a full order. I recommend trying one before a meal or workout and paying attention to your energy and focus.
