Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breast, boneless and skinless
- 1 medium head cauliflower
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 2 tablespoons parsley, fresh
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Rinse the cauliflower head and pat dry. Cut into small florets and spread them out on one side of the prepared baking sheet.
Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the cauliflower, then sprinkle with 0.5 teaspoon of salt, 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper, and 0.5 teaspoon of garlic powder. Toss gently to coat.
In a small bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 0.5 teaspoon of garlic powder, 0.5 teaspoon of paprika, 0.5 teaspoon of salt, and 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper.
Place the chicken breasts on the other side of the baking sheet and brush the seasoned olive oil mix over all sides of the chicken.
Roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping the chicken and tossing the cauliflower halfway through, until the cauliflower is golden and tender, and the chicken is cooked through with an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
Once cooked, remove from the oven. Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing.
Sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the chicken and cauliflower.
Drizzle the lemon juice over the roasted dish for a fresh burst of flavor.
Serve hot and enjoy your high-protein meal!
