3 eggs, beaten
1 skinless, boneless chicken breast, finely diced
4 garlic cloves, minced

PULSE cauliflower in a food processor until it resembles rice. It should measure about 7 cups.

How to make cauliflower rice without a food processor
Don't run out and buy a food processor! You can use a box grater. It'll just take a bit longer (as well as a little more elbow grease), but this method has some advantages. Simply cut a head of cauliflower in chunks (think large florets) and grate using the medium-sized holes.
