I love it when my plate is full of color and this dish certainly fits the bill! I added turmeric into the chicken marinade and cauliflower rice. The grilled tomatoes add another pop of color to this plate.

Skewers are something I love to make during grilling season. These chicken and onion kebabs go so well with the turmeric cauliflower rice and the tasty garlic sauce!
