Directions:

Step 1: Place your chicken in a container.

Step 2: Add your sesame dressing, Dijon mustard, salt, black pepper, garlic, lemon juice and olive oil. Mix together.

Step 3: Poke your chicken with a fork to help absorb the flavor, then place in the fridge to marinate (1-5 hours).

Step 4: Get your cauliflower.

Step 5: Grate your cauliflower by hand with a grater or place it in the food processor with the grate attachment (you want 4 cups of riced cauliflower from the large head of cauliflower).

Step 7:. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant.

Step 8: Quickly add 4 cups of riced cauliflower, nutritional yeast, cayenne, salt, and broth. Stir together in your pot.

Step 9: Cook the riced cauliflower for about 8-10 minutes covered.  Remove the lid and cook until all the liquid has evaporated.  Turn the stove off.

Step 10: Heat a separate large pan on medium high heat, add 2 tablespoons of coconut oil and sauté all of your chopped  vegetables (except the cilantro) until the red onions become translucent.

Step 11:. Add the sauteed vegetables, and the fresh chopped cilantro to the cooked riced cauliflower and mix.

Step 12: Remove your chicken from the fridge.

Step 13: Heat up a large pan on medium high heat.

Step 14: Add 1 to 2 tablespoon of avocado oil.

Step 15:. Once the pan is hot add your chicken.
