Once the chicken has browned dump in the bell peppers, zucchini, cauliflower, coconut aminos, and lime juice.

Close the lid and turn the pressure valve to sealing. Cook on high pressure using the 'manual' or 'pressure cook' button for 1 minute. Release the pressure by doing a quick release.

6

Open the lid. Use a fork to break apart the cauliflower into small pieces to make your 'rice'. If there is a lot of liquid from the cauliflower and zucchini drain some of the liquid. You'll want to keep about 2 tbsp of liquid for added flavor.

In a small bowl whisk the eggs then slowly pour the eggs into the empty side of the Instant Pot to cook.
