Chicken Curry Saute and Curried Cauliflower

Weight Watchers curry style. It was pretty good but I didn't find it very spicy. I ended up adding a bunch more curry to my personal plate. I am always on the lookout for low point high volume dishes and the cauliflower dish is one to add to the list. 2 cups is only 4 points. 2 cups is A LOT of cauliflower. Also, my mom gives me a hard time about not cooking a lot of carbs for Nick. She thinks he is going to wilt away to nothing. So anyway, I made some instant brown rice to serve this over. Rice is about 4 points per cup.
