Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breast
- 1 medium cauliflower head
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 pieces garlic cloves
- 1 medium onion
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Cut the cauliflower into florets and spread them evenly on a baking sheet. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
Roast the cauliflower in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until tender and lightly browned.
While the cauliflower is roasting, cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and season with paprika, thyme, salt, and black pepper.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet or pan over medium heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and diced onion. Sauté for 3 to 4 minutes until the onions are soft and translucent.
Pour in the chicken broth and stir to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits on the bottom of the skillet.
Add the roasted cauliflower and cooked chicken back into the skillet. Toss everything together to combine and let it simmer for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Serve hot, garnished with fresh chopped parsley if desired. Enjoy your Cauliflower with Chicken!
