    Heat the oil in a large pan or pot over medium-high heat; add onion and garlic then stir for less than 2 minutes then add the cauliflower and cook, stirring occasionally, until the cauliflower rice is tender , about 6-9 minutes. keeping it from getting too brown.


INSTRUCTIONS

To begin, prepare chicken thighs,I like to cook them whole then cut them into cubes. But first Transfer the chicken to a mixing bowl, add seasoning packet, garlic, turmeric, paprika, parsley,  salt and black pepper and toss to combine. Now, heat 2 tablespoons of oil (any kind) in a deep skillet over med heat. Add chicken and  Sear the chicken  about 5-7 minutes or until the chicken starts to develop some color. on each side Now, add onions and jalapeño pepper, stir and sauté for a few minutes until onions are tender (about 4 minutes). Then add chicken broth to deglaze the pan. Lower the heat and simmer for 2-3 minutes. Then taste and season with more salt if necessary.
In a separate non-stick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat and see the Recipe above for the riced cauliflower. You an also use white rice or brown rice and cook according to the package.
