- 3 teaspoons coconut oil, separated (or olive oil, for sauteing)

- Heat over medium while you make the rest of the meal.
- Stir occasionally and if it starts bubbling, turn back the heat to Medium-Low.
- Dice the peppers and onion to a 1/4-inch; try to make them all the same size so they cook evenly.
- Shred the carrot with a grater or peeler.
- Remove stems from cauliflower and process through the "grate" disk on a food processor a handful at a time.
- You can also grate the cauliflower with a handheld veggie grater, but this takes significantly longer and the time is not included in the prep.
- Heat 1 tsp coconut oil in a large saute pan over Medium-High heat.
- Add peppers, onions and carrots.
- Saute until tender and starting to brown (about 7 minutes).
- Add 2 more tsp coconut oil and the cauliflower to the veggie skillet.
- Saute and stir occasionally until cauliflower is cooked and beginning to brown (about 5 minutes).
- Stir in the chicken and keep on heat until it has reheated.
- Divide the chicken/veggie mixture evenly between 2 plates.
- Top with sauce that has been simmering on the stove.
- You can also top this with chopped avocado pieces or toasted sesame or sunflower seeds when serving.
