This will be made this weekend and I wanted to share! There is no rice- it's cauliflower :)

Crockpot Mexican Chicken Soup/Stew over Cilantro Lime “Rice”

Ingredients

For your crockpot
◦1 tablespoon olive oil
◦1 lb chicken breast
◦1/2 cup chicken broth (use a little more if you want it more “soupy”)
◦1 (14 oz) can diced tomatoes
◦1 yellow onion, sliced or diced
◦1/2 (14 oz) jar of roasted red peppers
◦2 cloves of garlic, peeled and smashed (just smash it was the side of a knife)
◦1 tablespoon chili powder
◦2 teaspoons cumin powder
◦1 teaspoon oregano
◦1 teaspoon garlic powder
◦1 teaspoon salt
◦pepper, to taste

For your cilantro rice
◦3-4 tablespoons cilantro, diced
◦1 head of cauliflower
◦1/2 lime, juiced squeezed
◦1 tablespoon olive oil
◦pinch of salt

Instructions

1.Pull out your hand dandy crockpot. People have been asking for more crockpot recipes so HEAR YA GO!!!! hooooooo ray!
2.Literally throw all your crockpot ingredients into the crockpot. Mix around. Turn on high for 3.5-4 hours or until your chicken is shredable (is that a word?) with two forks. I love shredded meat.
3.When your crockpot only has about 30 minutes to go, preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
4.Pull out a baking dish to prepare your cauliflower. Pull off all the leaves and cut off the stem, then dice your cauliflower into smaller florets and place in baking dish.
5.Sprinkle with olive oil and salt. Put in oven and baking for 20-25 minutes or until cauliflower is tender.
6.Once the cauliflower is done cooking, grab your food processor with the shredding attachment. Add cauliflower and rice it up!
7.Add riced cauliflower to a bowl. Chop your cilantro and add that right into your rice. Squeeze some lime juice over the top and mix together.
8.Once your chicken is all cooked in your crockpot, take a fork and shred the chicken directly in the crockpot. Then pour ingredients over cauliflower rice. Slice an avocado and put that on top.
9.Consume!!!

    Sounds amazing :) I love mexican food, I'm going to have to try this this weekend.

    Btw, my husband makes cauliflower rice in the microwave in 5 minutes. Blend it up in the food processor first, put it in a tupperware dish and add 1/2 cup of water, cook for 5min on high, let it sit for a minute and fluff. I'm sure you could just add in the lime and cilantro and it would still work. Super easy and I don't have to heat up the oven on hot days

    That just answered my question...I'll blend it up for a short while or like how long??? Probably would be able to tell by looking at it huh? :bigsmile: I'm no chef... :grumble: but I'm down to try new yummy things!
