Mexican Chicken with "Rice"





Continuing on my Mexican theme, this is one of those really easy to make staples in a Mexican kitchen.  The arroz con pollo that makes a quick dinner on busy nights.  This version, of course, is healthified as my son would say.
2 tablespoons olive oil1 medium onion, diced
1 cup celery, finely diced
1 head cauliflower, trimmed
1 (4 ounce) can green chilies, diced
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, grilled and diced into 1-inch pieces
1 teaspoon celtic sea salt (add more to taste if needed)
ground cumin, oregano and chili powder to taste
1 avocado
grated cheese, if desired
salsa if desired


  1. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat
  2. Saute onion over medium heat for 10 minutes, until soft
  3. Add celery to skillet and saute for 5 minutes
  4. Place cauliflower in a food processor with the "S" blade and process until the texture of rice.   
  5. Add cauliflower to skillet, cover and cook 5-10 minutes, until soft
  6. Mix chilies and chicken into skillet
  7. Stir in salt, cumin, oregano and chili powder
  8. Serve, topping with avocado, cheese and salsa if desired
