Chicken Sausage Onions and Peppers over Cauliflower Rice

Chicken Sausage, Onions and Peppers over Cauliflower Rice

I love this dish; simple and tasty. Sausage pairs so well with sautéed peppers and onions, because of the wonderful combination of salty with sweet. Add a bit of jalapeño heat and it's something pretty special. As well as a great excuse to whip up some yummy cauliflower rice. Win, win, win.

        1 small head cauliflower (for rice)
