1.02 kg chicken breasts, boneless skinless

3 (340 g) bags frozen, riced cauliflower

3 green bell peppers

1 small bunch green onions (scallions)

1 ½ cups shredded cheese, Mexican blend

barbecue sauce

black pepper

crushed red pepper

extra virgin olive oil

garlic powder

salt

Instructions

Preheat oven to 220°C (425°F).

Holding a knife parallel to the cutting board, cut the chicken in half horizontally to form thin fillets. Place on a large baking sheet pan, drizzle with oil, and season with salt and pepper.

Place chicken in the oven (it doesn't have to be fully heated) and bake until almost cooked through, 10-12 minutes.

Meanwhile, wash and dry bell peppers; using a clean cutting board, trim, seed, and small dice. Place in a medium bowl.

Preheat a large pot over medium heat.

While the pot heats up, wash, dry, trim, and cut green onions crosswise into thin pieces. Set aside a small handful for serving and add remaining green onions to the bowl with the bell pepper.

Once the pot is hot, add oil and swirl to coat the bottom. Add bell pepper, green onion, and spices; cook, stirring occasionally, until starting to soften, about 3 minutes.

Add cauliflower and water to the pot; stir combine and bring to a simmer. Once simmering, reduce heat to low and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until liquid has evaporated and cauliflower is tender, 7-8 minutes more. Remove from heat and cover to keep warm.

When the chicken is almost cooked through, remove from oven. Drizzle barbecue sauce over each fillet, then top with cheese.

Return baking sheet to the oven and continue to bake until cheese is melted and chicken is cooked through, about 10 minutes. Remove from oven.

To serve, divide chicken and cauliflower rice between plates. Top with reserved green onions and enjoy!
