Cauliflower “Chicken and Rice”
A take on a classic and one of my favorite dishes to eat when I was a kid, but we are substituting cauliflower for the rice. This dish has everything you need, a great variety of plant based foods, a great source of lean protein, and all backed up with great flavors. Enjoy making this dish any time of the week, I also love to make it for meal prep. Enjoy!
