Left Over Mexican Chicken with Cauliflower Rice


Ok…this is gross. Chicken dinner candy???? Now that I got your attention….my point is this: Leftover chicken doesn’t have to go this far and it doesn’t have to be this gross. You CAN have flavorful leftover chicken entrees for just pennies.

For Cauliflower Rice
• 1 head of cauliflower
• 2 TBSP coconut oil

Clean and remove green leaves from cauliflower. Slice out some of the stem. Rough chop the rest of the head. Place in a food processor and pulse to consistency of rice. Place coconut oil in a stir fry pan, and sauté until softened.

For the Chicken Mixture
• 1 red, 1 yellow, 1 green pepper, chop into ½ inch pieces
• 1 jalapeno pepper, diced
• 1 onion, chopped
• Leftover cooked chicken
• 1 can of organic tomatoes, drained
• 2 TBSP cumin
• 2 tsp minced garlic
• 2 TBSP coconut oil

Toppings:

• Cilantro
• Fresh sliced lime
• Avocado

Clean and chop all peppers & onion. Place coconut oil, minced garlic, peppers & onions in a sauté pan. Saute until tender. Add leftover chicken, tomatoes, & cumin. Let simmer for flavors to blend. When blended, pour over rice and top with fresh cilantro sprigs, fresh slices of avocado and squeeze lime juice on top.
