Follow The Directions

01

Step
10 mins

In a Dutch oven or large heavy-bottomed pot, melt the butter over medium-high heat. (2 minutes)

02

Step
3 mins

Add the chicken and sear on all sides until golden brown, creating a rich fond in the pot. (7-10 minutes)

03

Step
7 mins

Introduce the diced green bell pepper and sauté until tender-crisp, releasing its aromatic essence. (3 minutes)

04

Step

Stir in the salsa verde, thawed cauliflower rice, and chicken broth. Ensure all ingredients are well combined. (2 minutes)

05

Step

Reduce the heat to medium, cover, and simmer until the cauliflower rice is tender and the chicken is cooked through, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully. (7 minutes)

06

Step

Season generously with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to elevate the dish to perfection. (1 minute)

For an extra layer of flavor, consider browning the chicken in batches to avoid overcrowding the pot.
Use a high-quality salsa verde for the best taste; homemade is even better!
A squeeze of fresh lime juice at the end can brighten the flavors.
Garnish with chopped cilantro or a dollop of sour cream for a delightful presentation.
Adjust seasoning as needed; different brands of salsa verde may vary in salt content.
