Chipotle Chicken Cauliflower Rice Bowls with Pineapple Salsa

Hey Guys! Hope you all had a happy happy weekend. We were up in Minocqua, Wisconsin at my sister in Law’s family house and it was such a dream. Cool temps, so many outdoor activities, family time, 1 million cheese curds, and tons of laughs! We all need a nice relaxing break from time to time. But now, it’s back to reality…back to work, our house renovation, working out, healthy eating, and recipe development for my favorite foodies. I need a break from fried food for a hot minute, so this week we are focusing on healthy healthy healthy. Before I left, I made a big batch of my Detox Cabbage Soup and put it in the freezer, so that will help tremendously!

Chipotle Chicken Cauliflower Rice Bowls with Pineapple Salsa

Today, we’re having these Chipotle Chicken Cauliflower Rice Bowls with Pineapple Salsa. I like to prep my pineapple salsa and chipotle chicken ahead of time. Simply reheat the chicken and cook the cauliflower rice just before assembling. You can always sub white rice if you aren’t a fan of cauliflower rice- completely up to you! Serve with freshly chopped cilantro, avocado, sliced watermelon radish, pineapple salsa, and lime. So fresh and so yum! Enjoy!!
