Dinner Jan 22 - Chicken Soup w/ 'Rice'

Hello all!!  Tonight's dinner is off of a website where we get some delicious healthy recipes.  It's got a twist in it; normal chicken soup, but the rice is made from cauliflower!! Yep--you heard right!  CAULIFLOWER!!!  You guys have GOT to try this!!!

Chicken Soup w/ Rice

3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
1 Aneheim pepper, chopped (adjust for seasoning)
1/4 c onion, chopped
1 T oregano
Salt & Pepper
1/2 c Olive Oil
1 c chicken broth
1 head cauliflower, chopped VERY fine; like rice
1 cup hot, cooked rice - b/c there's no WAY I can fool my kids into thinking cauliflower is real rice ;)

Take chicken, pepper, onion, spices and oil and toss in ziploc bag.  Marinate for 30min.  Head skillet over med heat.  Drain chicken, reserving marinade.  Cook chicken in skillet 8-10min, until no longer pink.  Turn heat up to high and add broth.  Allow to bubble and thicken.  Add marinade, slowly, to achieve desired consistancy. 

To make 'rice'.  Place shredded cauliflower in microwave-safe dish w/ a lid.  Microwave for 6min.  Stire, and cook another 6min.  Add salt to taste. 

Place cauliflower in bowl and top w/ soup.  We loved this!!!  I'd love to hear your thoughts/comments/rejections ;))))
