Instructions

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1/2 tsp olive oil and swirl to coat.
Add diced chicken breast, smoked paprika, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Sauté for 5-6 minutes until chicken is browned and cooked through. Remove chicken and set aside.
In the same skillet, add garlic, onion, and bell pepper. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until slightly softened.
Add riced cauliflower and cook, stirring frequently, for 3-4 minutes until just tender.
Stir in black beans and cherry tomatoes. Cook for 2 more minutes to heat through. Adjust seasoning if needed.
Divide cauliflower mixture between 2 bowls. Top each with spiced chicken.
Garnish with a dollop of nonfat Greek yogurt, fresh cilantro, and a squeeze of lime. Serve immediately.
