Meal-Prep Chicken Kheema for the week!
I love Kheema Dosa, but I must say that I can’t ever get my family to eat dosa as often as I would like. So, I had to come up with another solution which is how this star was born.
My go-to version of this tasty Indian chicken kheema pizza is not only gluten-free, but guilt free in many ways! I use a cauliflower crust and layer on the tasty toppings before baking it to a crisp perfection.
I buy a cauliflower pizza crust from the freezer section to make life a bit easier. Honestly, I have tried multiple different brands and they all seem to have lived up to my expectations of a crispy crust thus far.
Toppings
- Kheema (recipe below)
- Fresh chopped cilantro
- Finely diced onion
- Finely diced chili peppers
- Shredded Mozarella Cheese
Indian Chicken Kheema Recipe
A versatile clean eating recipe which can me made to last a few days! Perfect for those flaor craving meal prep days.
- 1 lb ground chicken
- 1 tbsp ginger
- 1 tbsp garlic
- 1 tsp turmeric
- 2 tbsp coriander powder
- 1-2 tbsp chicken masala-optional (this measurement depends on your spice level preference)
- 1 large finely chopped onion
- 1 large finely chopped tomato
- 1 tbsp tomato paste
- oil
- salt
- red chili powder
- chopped cilantro
-
Heat pan on medium heat and add oil. Once hot add finely chopped onions and saute until golden brown.
-
Once the onions have slightly browned add the tomatoes, garlic, ginger, chicken masala, tomato paste, salt, coriander powder, some chopped cilantro (optional), and turmeric.
-
Allow the mixture to cook for about 3-5 minutes. At this point you can use a hand blender and puree the mixture if you would like. Then add the chicken. SIDE NOTE: I like to mix the ground chicken to remove the "stringed" meat look before cooking.
-
Using a spatula continue to mash and mix the chicken with the mixture. TIP: flatten/squeeze the meat at the bottom of the pan while mixing (or use a ground meat chopper). This will prevent the meat from bulking into large clumps.
-
Continue to mix frequently for an additional 7-10 minutes on medium heat.
-
Once all of the natural water has evaporated cook for a few additional minutes.
-
Garnish with the rest of the cilantro and serve.

Happy Eating Folks! <3

NOTES: You can refrigerate left overs for a few days.
