Tips
I marked this as 5 servings, but it could be anywhere from 4-6 really depending on if you add anything else to the meal!
Directions
Put cauliflower rice in the bottom of a casserole dish. Microwave for three minutes (not sure if this step is needed or not but I wanted to make sure the cauliflower wasn't crunchy). Pour half the can of green chili sauce over the rice and mix well.
Saute the peppers and leeks over medium high heat in 1tbsp olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Add the kale and saute for a few minutes more. Turn the heat down, cover, and simmer for about 5-10 min so the kale gets tender. Layer the vegetables on top of the rice.
Season the chicken with salt, pepper, cumin, and chili powder. Saute over medium high heat in 1tbsp olive oil for 3-4 min each side until browned. Layer the chicken on top of the veggies. Pour over the rest of the sauce. Sprinkle the cheese on top, and bake at 400° for 15-20 minutes.
