For the chicken –

2 medium sized chicken breasts (could sub thighs if you prefer)

1 Tablespoon of Mexican seasoning

A squeeze of fresh lime juice

For the cilantro lime cauli-rce – 

3-4 cups of cauliflower, riced ( if you are unable to get pre-riced cauliflower it’s easy to make your own – just grate up cauliflower either using a trusty old box grater or process in your food processor for a couple of seconds. You could also sub regular rice or quinoa if you prefer)

1 teaspoon of coconut oil (or cooking fat of choice)

2 Tablespoons of fresh cilantro (coriander)

A squeeze of fresh lime juice (approx 1 teaspoon)

Salt and pepper to taste

For the cheats pico –

1/2 cup of baby tomatoes, diced

1 Tablespoon of finely chopped red/Spanish onion

1/4 cup coconut cream (could sub coconut or Greek style yogurt)

2 Tablespoons of cilantro (coriander)

1 teaspoon of lime juice

Salt and pepper to taste

For serving –

1 large avocado, sliced

1 Jalapeno, sliced

A few shakes of your fave hot sauce

A handful of your fave plantain or tortilla chips

Method –

First let’s make the cilantro lime cream –

Place all ingredients into a food processor or blender and process until deliciously creamy and well combined. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed then transfer into a small bowl, jug or mason jar and store in the fridge until you’re ready to serve.

Next up let’s make our quick and easy, cheats pico –

Place all ingredients into a small bowl and stir to combine. Taste and adjust seasonings as necessary. Place in the fridge until your ready to assemble your delicious little burrito bowl.

Now, onto the chicken –

1 – Sprinkle both sides of your chicken with Mexican seasoning and give it a nice little massage to make sure its nice and evenly (and thoroughly) coated.

2 – Place a fry pan over medium high heat, drizzle with a little coconut oil (or cooking fat of choice) and cook chicken for 3-4 minutes each side until deliciously golden and cooked through.

3 – Once your chicken is cooked, squeeze over your lime juice and transfer to a plate (or chopping) board, cover to keep warm and allow it to rest while you cook your “rice” then chop it up into bite size pieces to serve.

Lastly, let’s make our rice –

1 – Place a fry pan over medium-high heat, add coconut oil (or cooking fat of choice) and  cauliflower rice and cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally (do not over-stir or it will go mushy) until cooked through.

2 – Once your rice is cooked, add cilantro (coriander), lime juice and season with salt and pepper and set aside.

Build your bowl –

Divide cauli-rice between two serving dishes, add chicken, avocado, pico + a generous drizzle of our dreamy, cilantro lime cream, a little extra cilantro (coriander), some sliced jalapenos’, a few dashes of your fave hot sauce and crumble over your plantain (or tortilla) chips if desired.

Enjoy xo
