While the curry sauce is cooking, cut the chicken into about 1 inch (2 cm) pieces. Roughly chop the cauliflower.
Grease a skillet with ghee (or olive oil) and add the chicken. Cook on medium-high for about 5 minutes, until opaque and lightly browned.
Add the curry sauce and the cauliflower. Mix to combine and cover with the curry sauce.
