RECIPE SUMMARY
Lemon Chicken Soup with Cauliflower Rice
Makes 2 servings: Counts towards 8oz Protein, 2 cups of vegetables, ¼ cup restricted vegetables, 1 tablespoon oil
INGREDIENTS
DIRECTIONS
Heat a soup pot over medium high heat.
While the pot is heating, season the chicken with salt and pepper on all sides.
Pour the oil into the pot and gently place the chicken in the pot skin side down. Sear the chicken on both sides (1-2 minutes) it doesn’t need to be cooked through as we will be cooking it thoroughly later.
Remove the chicken from the pot and set on a clean cutting board, place the onion, lemon zest and garlic in the pot and sauté until soft and aromatic about 3-5 minutes.
Slice the seared chicken into ¼ inch thick pieces or shred it using two forks.
Deglaze the pot by pouring a small amount (½ cup) of chicken broth into the pot and stirring and scraping the bottom of the pan. Add in the rest of the chicken broth and the sliced/shredded chicken and bring to a boil.
Once the pot reaches a boil, reduce it to a simmer and add in the lemon juice and the cauliflower. Check the seasonings. Let this simmer for 5 minutes.
Add in the Kale and Spinach and serve.
