Cut the cauliflower into small florets/Chunks. Working in batches, place the cauliflower in a food processor and pulse (in 1-2 second pulses) until the cauliflower has the texture of rice or couscous – don’t over process or it will get mushy. Set aside.

Heat olive oil in a large pan, add chopped onion, crushed garlic and sauté for 5-6 minutes. Add chicken breast chunks, season with salt, pepper and chili flakes. Cook for about 4-5 minutes until the chicken cooked through. Add green beans and cook for 2-3 minutes more.

Add cauliflower “rice”. Add soy sauce, sesame oil and cook, stirring occasionally, for 3-5 minutes, until the cauliflower has softened. Don’t overcook. Turn the heat off and add chopped green onion.

Serve warm. Enjoy!
