Pair It With Some Rice

We love to make this a complete bowl meal with a little bit of white or cauliflower rice. You decide. Sometimes we go for white rice and other times we like to keep it lower carb and add-on the extra veggies with cauliflower rice. Sometimes we even add some extra greenery with kale or spinach.
