Mexican Chicken and Cauli-Rice


I've been on a cauliflower kick lately, and so here's another great cauliflower recipe to throw in the mix.  This creative usage of cauliflower really tricks you into thinking you're eating rice.  

What a fun, unique, tasty, and of course, healthy dish!  You must give it a try and let me know if you or anyone else is tricked by this one.




INGREDIENTS:

- 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 3/4 cup celery, finely diced
- 1 head cauliflower, washed and trimmed
- 1 (4 ounce) can green chilies, diced
- 1 pound cooked boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces (I cook my chicken like this)
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon each of cumin, oregano and chili powder (add more if you like it spicier)
- Optional: avocado, grated cheese, salsa


DIRECTIONS:

1. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat.

2. Saute onion until soft (about 10 minutes).

3. Add celery to skillet and saute for 5 minutes.

4. Grate cauliflower with a cheese grater to make your "rice".

5.  Add cauliflower to skillet, cover and cook 5-10 minutes, until soft.

5. Mix chilies and chicken into skillet

6. Stir in salt, cumin, oregano and chili powder

7. Serve warm with desired toppings, and enjoy!
