Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breast
- 1 head cauliflower
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 4 garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 red onion
- 0.25 cup fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Cut the cauliflower head into bite-sized florets and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Peel and mince the garlic cloves. Slice the red onion into thin wedges.
Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, smoked paprika, dried oregano, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper to the bowl with cauliflower. Toss well to coat the florets evenly.
Transfer the seasoned cauliflower to a large baking sheet, spreading them out in an even layer.
Arrange the chicken breasts on the same baking sheet. Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the chicken and season with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
Distribute the sliced red onion over both the chicken and cauliflower on the baking sheet.
Roast in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and the cauliflower is tender and golden brown.
While the dish is roasting, chop the fresh parsley.
Once done, remove the baking sheet from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.
Sprinkle the chopped parsley over the chicken and cauliflower for garnish just before serving.
Serve hot and enjoy your Dairy-Free Cauliflower Chicken with a side of your choice, such as quinoa or a fresh green salad.
