Ingredients

4 tablespoons olive oil divided
1 medium cauliflower about 4 cups of rice
1 pound chicken breast cut in to bite size pieces
1/2 cup green pepper chopped
1/4 cup onion chopped
1 cup frozen peas and carrots
5 ounces water chestnuts
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 green onion
Salt to taste

Instructions

Cut the cauliflower off of the stem. Process the florets in a food processor until you have rice size pieces. Set aside.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet. Add the chicken that has been cut into small pieces. Cook chicken until it is no longer pink inside, about 4 to 5 minutes. Remove from the pan.
Add another tablespoon or two of oil if needed. Add the green pepper, onions, and garlic. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes until they are being to soften.
Add the cauliflower rice to the skillet at this time. Add additional oil at this time if needed. Cook the rice for about 5 minutes or until it is getting tender. Stir in the chicken and the water chestnuts.
Make a well in the middle of the rice. Slightly beat the eggs and add them to the well in the skillet. Cook until the eggs are partially set and mix into the rice.
Add the soy sauce and green onion. Season with additional salt if needed.

Notes

Dry the cauliflower thoroughly before processing into the rice.
For easy processing of the cauliflower into rice, use a food processor. If you don't have a food processor, you can use a box grater.
For less sodium use, a low-sodium soy sauce.
Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days.
I would not recommend freezing leftovers.
