Instructions

  • Preheat a large pot to medium-high heat. Once hot, add the avocado oil and ground chicken. Cook for about 7-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until fully cooked.
  • Next, add the diced onion and garlic and saute for 1-2 more minutes until the onions are soft and the garlic is fragrant.
  • Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and cayenne. Mix well.
  • Pour in chicken broth and the rice. Bring to a boil, cover with a lid, and then turn the heat down to a low simmer. Simmer for 20-25 minutes until the rice is fully cooked.
  • Once the rice has cooked, add the heavy cream and parmesan cheese. Mix until well combined.
  • Finally, add the lemon juice and spinach. Stir continuously until the spinach has wilted.
  • Taste and adjust salt and pepper as necessary.
  • Serve immediately and top with parmesan cheese and freshly chopped chives. Enjoy!
