  • Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil, place the sweet potatoes and cauliflower evenly on the baking sheet and put in the oven for 30-40 min, flipping when about halfway done so they brown evenly.

Season the chicken with a little bit of salt and pepper. When the chicken has browned on one side, flip it, and add 1/4 to 1/2 cup of chicken broth, the red vinegar and the remaining thyme leaves.

CAULIFLOWER CHICKEN CURRY



Cauliflower Chicken Curry image

Yogurt combined with spices coats cauliflower and chicken thighs in this Indian-inspired curry. The longer you marinate the chicken and cauliflower, the richer the taste, but even 20 minutes of marinating time will give you great results. Smoked paprika adds a more complex flavor, but regular paprika works well too. Serve this saucy dish with brown rice to complete the meal.

1 cup nonfat Greek yogurt
3 tablespoons canola oil, divided
2 tablespoons curry powder, divided

CHICKEN WITH ROASTED CAULIFLOWER



Chicken with roasted cauliflower image

Add roast cauliflower to chicken for the perfect partnership. Chunks of toasted sourdough take the place of potatoes here, soaking up all the roasting juices

Provided by Tom Kerridge

Categories     Dinner, Main course

Time 2h20m

Yield Serves 6-8

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 large free-range chicken , about 2.7kg
2 medium cauliflowers , trimmed, leafy stalks retained
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 garlic cloves , grated
2 tbsp lemon thyme leaves , chopped
1 crumbly chicken stock cube
300ml chicken stock
300g sourdough bread , torn into bite-sized pieces
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 tbsp finely chopped flat-leaf parsley

Steps:

  • Take the chicken out of the fridge 30 mins before you want to cook it. Heat oven to 170C/150C fan/gas 3.
  • Lay the leafy stalks from the cauliflowers in a large roasting tray (to sit the chicken on). Set the cauliflower heads aside.
  • In a small bowl, mix the olive oil with the garlic, thyme and a little salt and pepper. Carefully insert your fingers under the skin of the chicken breasts and loosen the skin from the breasts. Push most of the olive oil mixture under the skin, spreading it over the breast meat with your fingers. Sit the chicken on the cauliflower stalks.
  • Drizzle the remaining olive oil mix over the chicken and rub it in well with your hands. Season with pepper and evenly crumble over the stock cube. Tightly cover the tray with foil. Cook for 1 hr 20 mins.
  • In the meantime, break the cauliflower heads into florets. Once the cooking time is up, take the tray out of the oven and remove the foil. Turn the oven up to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. While it's coming up to temperature, add the cauliflower florets to the roasting tray and pour in the chicken stock.
  • Put the tray on the bottom shelf of the oven. Roast for 30-40 mins, or until the chicken is golden brown all over and the cauliflower is cooked. Halfway through the cooking time, baste the chicken with the juices and toss the cauliflower.
  • To make the toasted sourdough, scatter the pieces of sourdough on a small baking tray 20 mins before the end of the chicken cooking time. Drizzle with the olive oil and season. Put on the top shelf of the oven for 15-20 mins, or until golden brown.
  • Sprinkle the chopped parsley over the sourdough and mix well. Remove the chicken from the oven and leave to rest for 15 mins before carving. Serve the chicken with the roasted cauliflower, cauliflower stalks and toasted sourdough, spooning over the pan juices.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use a whole chicken that has been air-chilled. Air-chilled chicken has a more concentrated flavor than water-chilled chicken.
  • Generously season the chicken with salt and pepper. This will help to create a crispy skin and juicy meat.
  • Roast the chicken at a high temperature for the first 30 minutes. This will help to brown the skin and seal in the juices.
  • Reduce the oven temperature after 30 minutes. This will help to cook the chicken evenly without drying it out.
  • Roast the chicken until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit. You can use a meat thermometer to check the temperature.
  • Let the chicken rest for 10 minutes before carving. This will help to keep the juices in the chicken.
  • Serve the chicken with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.

Conclusion:

This roast chicken with cauliflower and sweet potatoes is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The chicken is juicy and flavorful, and the vegetables are roasted to perfection. This dish is also a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables.
