Salsa Lime Chicken & Coconut Cauliflower Rice

It's mid-January, freezing, and all I can think about it laying on a beach right now- soaking up some rays and drinking a pina colada... this Florida girl can dream right?

Tonight I created the next best thing, well kinda. I mean, it was pretty awesome. A 21 Day Fix approved islander dish that was FAR from boring. So for all of you beach lovin', winter hatin' peeps- this one is for you until we get our warm weather back!

OH! & this recipe is about to get even better. The chicken? Yeah, it's made in the crockpot. AKA, no work involed!

What To Do:

1. Throw some chicken in the crockpot
2. Add Salsa (look for organic, no sugar added)- I used about a jar 
3. Cook on low for 4-6, add some lime juice, and shred
4. THAT'S IT. Seriously. 

Meanwhile, while your chicken is cooking lets fix up the cauliflower rice...

What You Will Need:

• 1 tbsp. coconut oil 
• 1 head of cauliflower 
• 1/4 can of coconut milk 
• 1/8 - 1/4 cup of lime juice 
• 1/4 cup cilantro, minced (this is optional, I didn't use it because I don't love cilantro)

What To Do:

Add the coconut oil to a large pan over low-medium heat. While it is warming up, use your food processor to "rice" the cauliflower by pulsing the florets into rice-sized pieces. You will need to do this in at least 2 batches so that you don't get mush at the bottom of your bowl. **DON'T OVER PULSE! YOU WANT THE CAULIFLOWER LIKE RICE**

Add the riced cauliflower to the pan and stir through to coat with the coconut oil. Cook for about 5 minutes to get rid of some the of the excess moisture in the cauliflower.

Stir in the coconut milk. Add about three quarters of the lime juice. Bring to a simmer and turn the heat down slightly so that the pan doesn't come to a boil. Simmer until tender and the liquid has been absorbed, about 10 minutes.

Pour in the last of the lime juice, along with the fresh cilantro if you are using it. Season to taste with salt. Stir through and cook until the lime juice has been absorbed.

Take 1 cup of coconut cauliflower rice and top it with 3/4 cup of salsa lime chicken. If you want to pair with a carb, the black bean/pinto bean mixture turned out amazing with it!
