Curry Cauliflower Rice - meal prep

Taken from Evolving Table.
Did not taste good, but it was because I modified it too much and the onion wasn't good, so had to eliminate.  Will try it differently next time.

Ingredients:
-1 lb chicken cubed
-1 yellow or sweet onion, diced
-1 red bell pepper, diced
-2 cloves of garlic (or garlic powder)
-1 bag of cauliflower rice
-1/2 cup of frozen green  peas (estimated) +/- peas/carrots/corn combo

SPICES:
-1 1/2 tsp curry powder (only did 1 tsp)
-1/4 tsp turmeric ground (think I added too much/more)
-1/4 tsp coriander ground (used 1 tsp or more of garam masala because didn't have this)
-3/4 tsp salt (don't think I added)

Directions:
1. Cook chicken - seasoned with curry, garam masala, turmeric (next time just do curry and salt?).  Set aside.
2. Cook onion, bell peppers, garlic
3. Add bag of cauliflower rice, frozen peas
4. Add spices and stir in

Notes:
Will have to research, but I think adding the garam masala instead of the coriander was my downfall.  Don't remember if I forgot the salt.
