Tips

This is a great dish for meal prepping. Prepare and cover individual portions of cauliflower rice and chicken; refrigerate for up to three days. Add toppings before serving.

To cook the chicken using the instant pot, stovetop, or Dutch oven method, please see the original recipe Two-ingredient Mexican pulled chicken here.

We love our Quick salsa as a topping. It's fresh, fast, and fiery!
