2 bone-in, skin-on chicken-breast halves (1 3/4 pounds total), patted dry

Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 head cauliflower (2 pounds), quartered, cored, and grated on the large holes of a box grater (4 packed cups)

ROASTED CHICKEN THIGHS WITH CAULIFLOWER AND HERBY YOGURT

Roasted Chicken Thighs With Cauliflower and Herby Yogurt image

This weeknight sheet-pan meal of crispy roasted chicken thighs and cauliflower gets a flavor boost from a tangy herbed yogurt sauce. If your cauliflower comes with leaves attached, don't toss them. Roast them alongside the florets; just toss them with a little bit of olive oil and add them to the sheet pan about halfway through the cooking time. Make sure to scoop up a bit of yogurt with each bite.

Time 1h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients

1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon Aleppo pepper flakes (or 1/2 teaspoon red-pepper flakes)
3 tablespoons olive oil
Kosher salt and black pepper
6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (about 3 pounds)
1 small head cauliflower (about 1 1/2 pounds), cut into 2-inch florets (about 5 cups)
3 shallots, quartered lengthwise (about 1 heaping cup)
1 1/4 cups Greek yogurt
2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro, plus more for garnish
2 tablespoons lemon juice, plus more for serving
1 garlic clove, finely grated

Steps:

Heat oven to 425 degrees and set a rack in the center.
In a large bowl, whisk together the coriander, paprika and Aleppo pepper with 1 tablespoon oil and a big pinch of salt and pepper. Add the chicken to the bowl and toss to coat in the oil and spices. Arrange the chicken, skin-side up, on a large baking sheet.
Add the cauliflower, shallots, remaining 2 tablespoons oil, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper to the bowl. Toss to coat, then arrange the vegetables in a single layer surrounding the chicken.
Bake until the chicken is deep golden brown and cooked through and the cauliflower is browned, tossing the vegetables once or twice, about 40 minutes. (If the chicken is done before the cauliflower, transfer the thighs to a plate, cover, and continue cooking the cauliflower until golden brown.)
While the chicken bakes, prepare the yogurt sauce: Whisk the yogurt, mint, cilantro, lemon juice and grated garlic with a pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cover and refrigerate until serving.
Transfer the chicken and vegetables to a platter and top with any juices left on the sheet pan and a squeeze of lemon juice. Serve with a swoop of yogurt on the side, and fresh cilantro, if desired.

A simple, low-calorie, grain-free meal with roasted cauliflower, punchy feta and sweet pomegranate seeds that can be prepared in advance - ideal for supper and packed lunch the next day

Provided by Sophie Godwin - Cookery writer

Categories Lunch, Supper

Time 22m

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

1 large cauliflower (about 650g/1lb 7oz trimmed weight)
1 tsp allspice
1 tsp ground cinnamon
2 tbsp olive oil
25g flaked almonds , toasted
1 red onion , finely chopped
200g pack feta , crumbled
110g tub pomegranate seeds
juice 1 lemon
½ small pack parsley , finely chopped
½ small pack mint , finely chopped, plus a few leaves to garnish

Steps:

Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Remove the outer leaves from the cauliflower and the hard inner core, then roughly chop up the florets (don't worry about how they look, they are going to be blitzed). Put the cauliflower in the large bowl of a food processor, blitz for 30 secs until it resembles couscous grains, then tip into a large bowl.
Mix the spices and olive oil into the cauliflower and season to taste. Spread the cauliflower 'couscous' out on a large baking tray in an even, thin layer. Roast for 12 mins, mixing halfway through so that it is evenly toasted, then set aside to cool slightly.
Once at room temperature, stir through the remaining ingredients and season to taste, then sprinkle over the mint leaves.

Tips:

To save time, use pre-cooked cauliflower rice or frozen cauliflower florets.
For a more flavorful tabbouleh, use a variety of fresh herbs, such as parsley, cilantro, and mint.
If you don't have any sumac, you can substitute lemon juice or vinegar.
Be sure to season the chicken generously with salt and pepper before roasting.
For crispy chicken skin, roast the chicken at a high temperature for the last 10-15 minutes of cooking.

Conclusion:

This roasted chicken with cauliflower tabbouleh is a healthy and delicious meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The chicken is tender and juicy, while the tabbouleh is light and refreshing. This dish is also a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables.
