In a large bowl combine ground chicken, bread crumbs, yellow onions, jalapeno, eggs, peppers, garlic powder, red pepper, and fresh basil. Stir until well combined.
Using your hands scoop out enough ground chicken mixture to create a 1-inch ball. Roll the ball in your hands. Once you have a firm ball, set the ball on a plate to the side. Continue to do this until you have used up all the ground chicken mixture. You should be able to create 12, 1-inch balls.
Now heat a large stovetop pan to medium heat. Once the pan is hot add your oil to the pan. Then add your chicken meatballs to the pan. Cook the chicken meatballs for about 6 minutes, rolling the balls to another side after every 2 minutes. This should allow you to get a nice golden color around the meatballs.
After 6 minutes of browning the meatballs, cover the pan with a lid and turn the heat down to medium-low and cook for another 5 minutes, turning the meatballs halfway through.
While the meatballs are cooking start working on your sauce.
In a small saucepot add your 2 cans of diced tomatoes, salt, pepper, garlic powder, red pepper flake, basil, and tomato paste. Stir everything together and cook on medium-low heat for about 10 minutes. Stir frequently to prevent burning.
While the meatballs and sauce are cooking also work on your riced cauliflower.
In another small saucepot add your frozen cauliflower, diced onions, butter, basil, and salt. Cook at medium heat for about 8 minutes, stirring often to prevent burning.
By the time your cauliflower is done, everything else should be complete. Plate your cauliflower first, then top with your meatballs, then pour your sauce over top. Season with a sprinkle of fresh basil and serve!
