You and your family will enjoy the taste of the entire meal by mixing different flavors in a bowl. This power bowl has parsley, leftover chicken, cauliflower rice, and other vegetables. There is no sauce although you can add soy sauce or teriyaki sauce. 

Cauliflower rice is cooked cauliflower that is cut and shaped to look like rice. It makes an excellent substitute if you are allergic to rice or if you are controlling your sugar levels. Also, it has fewer calories if you are counting calories. Frozen cauliflower rice was used in this recipe to make it quicker. It is high in fiber, has antioxidants, and may help with weight loss. 

No matter how you eat this power bowl, you will like the flavor of the parsley and other spices. Parsley has vitamin K and it has blood thinning properties. Therefore, use parsley in moderation. Yet, you can use cilantro instead of parsley.  Here is the recipe for making this parsley cauliflower rice bowl. 

Ingredients: 

Frozen cauliflower, carrots, and broccoli

Bell peppers

Onions

Mushrooms

1 packet of chicken tenderloins

Frozen cauliflower rice

1 can of beans or a bag of beans

Garlic cloves 

Spices: 

Lemon and Pepper

Goya cilantro and tomato bouillon

Goya chicken bouillon

Garlic powder

Tajin Chile and lime powder

Curry

1 Lemon 

Preparation and cooking time: 

Wash and slice the bell peppers. Clean the mushrooms before slicing them. Peel the onion and use half of the onion. Slice one-half of the onions to add to the chicken and the other half into the beans. Save the other half of the onion for another recipe. 

In one skillet, add bell peppers, onions, and mushrooms. Add the following spices to the chicken tenderloins: Lemon and pepper, curry, garlic powder, chile lime powder, and cilantro with tomato bouillon powder. Next, cook everything in the skillet with water. Last, squeeze one lemon and add the lemon juice when the water had evaporated.  Add parsley leaves or cilantro leaves to cook the chicken.

Then, in a pot with water, add chicken bouillon powder with the frozen cauliflower, carrots, and broccoli. Add parsley or cilantro with the frozen vegetables. However, you can cook the chicken with parsley and the frozen vegetables with cilantro. Depending on your preference, parsley, and cilantro leaves blend well together. While that is cooking, add slices of onions, bell pepper, and peeled garlic cloves in a pot with dry beans or cooked beans from a can. 

If you are using dry beans add plenty of water. Wait until everything is soft and tender. Microwave the frozen cauliflower rice and wait one minute before serving. Use a serving spoon with a strainer to serve the beans and vegetables without the broth. In a bowl, add cauliflower rice, beans, vegetables, and shredded chicken. 

Last, add soy sauce or teriyaki sauce to your parsley cauliflower rice bowl. Also, you can garnish your bowl with parsley or cilantro which is optional. You can also eat this power bowl without sauce. Nonetheless, you can vary your vegetables to make your cauliflower rice bowls. Here are links about making your power bowls.
