I know the name of the recipe sucks. I know, ok. But I promise it’s way more exciting to the taste buds than you think. And SUPER filling.
I’m getting realllllll excited, guys. Real excited. My second cookbook, The Paleo Kitchen, is super close to release date! If you haven’t already preordered the book, do it now while it’s super cheap and then the book will ship out to you come June 10th. But wait, even though I’m really excited for that, I’m even more excited about the book tour. We are still finalizing dates, places, and times, but I know I will be having a book release party on June 10th, in Denver then heading up the west coast. I’ll have final details next week and I’ll be sure to send out an email with locked in dates. Be sure to sign up for my emails so you’ll know right away! Wait wait, let’s be realistic…I’m way more excited about picking out outfits for the trip. I may or may not be shopping today. Meaning, I definitely am.
Let’s entertain ourselves on this Friday. I can’t tell you how many times I watched this video. Watch this now. DO IT. I laughed so hard, I cried. True story.
So I have yet another wedding this weekend. Four weddings this summer, and this is the second. This is one of the boyfriend’s friends, but I still know a ton of the people there, which will be fun. AND, the cabins allow dogs. So we get to take Jackson with us. Meaning I probably won’t want to go to the reception because I’ll just want to play with him the whole time. He’s just the greatest. He has pretty much learned to not pee in the house anymore, which makes me like him a lot more. What sucks now is that our carpet is TOTALLY stained. Wtf is that? Who sells a carpet cleaner that stains the carpet? That literally makes zero sense. So now that he has stopped being an asshole, I need to get one of those carpet cleaners to pull out the stains. Dumb. Carpet is so gross. I have sworn to never have carpet again after this apartment. It may feel good on your toes, but your toes are just squishing in creepy things. Meaning mine. Just a fact.
Ok, I gotta shop. Now go do something fun with your weekend.
Chicken Bacon Rice Bowls
- Yield: 4 1x
Ingredients
- 4 pieces of bacon, diced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/2 yellow onion, minced
- 1.5 pounds chicken, cut into 1 inch cubes (I used skinless, boneless breasts)
- 1 (14 ounce) can of diced tomatoes, drained
- 2 (6 ounce) cans of diced green chiles
- 1 small head of cauliflower, riced (use a shredding attachment on a food processor to rice the cauliflower)
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- salt and pepper, to taste
- avocado, to garnish
- green onions, to garnish
Instructions
- Place a large dutch oven or pot over medium heat. Add pieces of bacon and cook until crispy then remove and set aside on paper towel. Remove some of the bacon fat from the pot if needed, leaving behind about 3-4 tablespoons.
- Add garlic cloves, yellow onion and chicken. Sprinkle with a bit of salt. Cook until chicken is almost cooked through. Then add diced tomatoes, green chiles and cauliflower and mix well. Add a good amount of salt (the cauliflower will soak up a lot) then add chili powder and red pepper flakes. Mix well, place heat to medium-low and let simmer for about 10 minutes.
- When done simmering, mix in bacon pieces into the rice mixture.
- Place in bowl, garnish with a bit of salt and pepper, avocado and green onions.

My old house had carpet and I had no idea how nasty it really was until I moved into a house with wood floors. There are tumbleweeds of dog fur everywhere.I swifter them up every day but there’s no stopping it. Let me just tell you that i definitely didn’t vacuum my old carpeted every day. I lived in filth for 5 years. cool.
p.s. i can’t wait to try this!
Anything with cauliflower rice is a winner in my books! Will definitely be trying this one 🙂 thanks Juli!

This has nothing to do with the recipe, and someone may have pointed this out to you already, but your cookbook on Amazon has some weird review for a comic on it.
Also, Nature’s Miracle is truly a miracle. Especially when you add this: http://pureous.com/products/home-products/carpet-spot-treatment/
I know!! Thanks for telling me, we are still trying to get that fixed
People, this is SO GOOD. Make it. Make it now.
Will you marry me?
This was delicious, except i couldn’t follow the whole recipe. Had to substitute mild salsa for the green chilis, and I didn’t have a ripe avocado nor green onions, and it was still delicious. Only complaint is my kitchen looks like a cauliflower exploded all over it. Will definitely be making again with all the ingredients next time, and hopefully it will be even better.
Congrats on your book release, Juli!
I realize you don’t know me yet, but I recently had George on my podcast, and will be publishing the interview very shortly. Best wishes to both of you.
Just the same, thanks so much for this recipe! I’ve been doing the cauliflower ‘rice’ for a while now, but only recently got into the mexican style of preparing it. I’m excited to give it a try 🙂
Juli, I personally really like the title of the recipe… straight to the point! Chicken and bacon are two of my favorites and they seem to have a unique way of tasting really good together. Maybe I just think bacon tastes good with everything! Is it just me, or does avocado go great with everything too?! Thanks for the post, loved this one.
I’m super excited because I will be in SoCal next wknd so I will get to come to your book signing in San Diego!!
Are you planning to wod while you are there? If so, where?!
yes I am actually! I was going to try to workout saturday afternoon AND sunday morning but still trying to decide where since i don’t know the area very well. any suggestions?
wow this is amazing! we used fire roasted diced tomatoes from sprouts which I think gave it a little something extra…
