January 1^st, New Year’s Day, is a day set aside by us humans to mark the beginning of a new year. There is no natural or seasonal or religious event that marks this day. In fact, it could be a day like any other.

Buy yet, it is the one day that people from around the world, regardless of religion or race, gather together to celebrate one cause: the dawn of a new year.

As my daughter and I rang in the new year, we were ruminating on this fact. So many people; so many different times zones; so many different cultures, religions, and socio-economic backgrounds, all unite on one night to celebrate the hope a new year brings.

On a broader scale, we might have hopes of being better, loving more, giving more, hating less…
And, on a narrower scale, we might have hopes of working out more and maybe eating better….

And that latter point is where today’s post for a low carb/clean keto One Pan Fried Cauliflower Rice Chicken Dinner fits in.

It is an easy and tasty dinner that you can prepare in 30 minutes. You can serve it with a few sides / toppings that make this an even more fun and wholesome meal.

There was a time when the pre-packaged riced cauliflower I used was from the frozen section. But, on a recent trip to Sprouts, I came across Kevin’s Naturals Original Riced Cauliflower in the deli section. Kevin’s Naturals Original Riced Cauliflower does not need to be thawed before it can be used. Just open the pack up and sauté it in a pan on the stovetop or microwave it in a microwave-safe bowl. So easy and convenient.

Speaking of Sprouts, in addition to Kevin’s Naturals Original Riced Cauliflower, Sprouts has a ton of great products that would make it easier for you to stay on a keto / low carb diet.

They have everything from Vital Proteins Unflavored Collagen Peptides in the supplements section to Birchbenders Keto Pancake Mix in the baking aisle!

There are so many reasons why I love shopping at Sprouts. They have such a wonderful array of new products, supplements, and produce. And now they also have clear tags that help me find keto items throughout the store.

The next time you are at your neighborhood Sprouts store, I hope you can use their tags to easily find those products that will help you adhere to your dietary choices. And, if you are on a keto / low carb diet, I hope you grab the ingredients you need for this easy One-Pan Fried Cauliflower Rice Chicken Dinner and give it a try.
