1. Prepare the Cauliflower Rice: Remove the leaves and stem from the cauliflower. Cut it into florets, and pulse in a food processor until it resembles rice. Be careful not to over-process.
2. Cook the Cauliflower Rice: In a large skillet over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Once hot, add the cauliflower rice and cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender. Set aside.
3. Prepare the Chicken: Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces. In a bowl, combine the chipotle chili powder, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken pieces and toss to coat evenly.
4. Cook the Chicken: In the same skillet, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken. Cook for about 6-8 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and slightly charred on the edges.
5. Make the Avocado Lime Dressing: Cut the avocado in half and remove the pit. Scoop the flesh into a blender. Squeeze in the juice of the lime, add the fresh cilantro, jalapeño (optional, for spiciness), and sour cream. Blend until smooth and creamy. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
6. Assemble the Bowls: In individual serving bowls, start with a base of cauliflower rice. Layer with cooked chicken, halved cherry tomatoes, diced red onion, and torn romaine lettuce leaves.
7. Top with Dressing: Drizzle the avocado lime dressing generously over each bowl.
8. Serve: Garnish with additional cilantro leaves if desired and serve immediately.
